"I get to walk at the rear of the procession and I don't have to vest!!"  Reminds me of the priest I knew whose cat used to walk back and forth in front of the altar during his sermons.

Eis polla eti DESPOTA means: 'Many years, Master' (Master being the Bishop, not a despot! ) Deacon Borislav's version was a pun substituting 'dog' for 'des' implying the dog is the bishop!!!

Just an observation about the linked picture, some priests are fully vested, some are not. Any particular reason why?

LOL - I couldn't decide which was more amusing - the uniformity of umbrellas or the cock-eyed uniform cap on the soldier at the left  Many years, Neil

One cleric is in ryassa, with red kamilkava, looks like he might be also wearing an epitrachelion, or perhaps just a pectoral cross and/or englopion.

Even Russian sing Eis Polla Eti. But often in Slavonic, rather than in Greek! Heck, some people are still upset about Bohorodicu being replaced by Theotokos...
