:''This should not be confused with the [[sticheron]].'' [[image:altarboy.jpg|right|thumb|A young man wearing a sticharion while serving]]The '''sticharion''' is a liturgical vestment, long and narrow, with loose sleeves, and fastened at the neck. This should not be confused with the [[hymn]] "[[sticheron]]."
Worn as the undermost [[Vestments|vestment ]] by [[bishop]]s and [[priest]]s, it is usually made from a simple white or gold fabric.
Worn as an outer vestment by [[deacon]]s and [[subdeacon]]s, it is usually more decorated and may reflect the colour of the day. It is open down the sides but held shut with baubles or buttons.
