:''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 vestment by [[bishop]]s and [[priest]]s, it is usually made from a simple white or gold fabric.
The Latin vestment equivalent to the sticharion is the alb. It too is a long white garment worn by the bishop or priest under the chasuble which itself is equivalent to the Eastern phelonion. The alb may be plain or decorated with embroidery or lacework, but in Latin usage is almost always white.
