'''Epimanikia''' (singular ''epimanikion'') are liturgical [[vestments]]. They are fabric cuffs, usually brocade, that lace onto the wrists of a [[bishop]], [[priest]], or [[deacon]] to contain the sleeves of the [[sticharion]]. There is usually a cross embroidered or appliquéd to the center.
Since the deacon wears a more elaborate sticharion as an outer garment, he wears the epimanikia underneath its sleeves.
