A Deacon serves all the services in his cassock, over which he wears a Dalmatic (Stikharion). The Stikharion, a long straight vestment with wide sleeves, which covers the whole person, is called "the robe of salvation and the garment of the joy." It is symbolical of a pure and tranquil conscience, a spotless life, and the spiritual joy in the Lord which flows therefrom, in him who wears it. The Stole (Orarion) is a long wide band of material which is sometimes worn over the left shoulder, sometimes crossed upon the breast and back , in the case of the Deacon. Sometimes the Angelic hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy," is embroidered upon the stole. The Deacon wears also the Cuffs, for convenience during the service, and to remind him that he must not put his trust in his own strength alone, but in the hands of the Lord.
