Caps of Oriental orthodox priests
The shape of clergy's cap in the Coptic Orthodox and Indian Orthodox Churches are same but Syrian Orthodox Priest's Cap is very different from others. Why? The Armenian priest wear cloth but do not wear a cap. The Ethiopian priests wear a special cap. Its made of long pieces of cloths (yellow and white etc.). Why the oriental orthodox priests wear different types of caps?
