[[Image:Egolpio a.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Engolpion]]'''''Engolpion''''' is a general term for something worn upon the bosom. As a [[bishop]]'s vestment, it refers to a medallion with an [[icon]] in the center. It is often referred to as a '''''Panagia''''' because the All-holy [[Theotokos]] is the subject of its icon.
All [[primate]]s and some bishops below the rank of primate have the dignity of a second engolpion, which usually depicts Christ.
