epitrakhil'

[Steve Marder]

> (priest's) stole (Natalia Pylypiuk),

to which might be added "epitrachelion," and possibly even "orarion."


>> I have a student working on a translation of Zoshchenko's story "Ispoved'"
>> and he came upon the word "epitrakhil'."  We found a definition in Dal',
>> which is:
>> "odno iz oblachenii sviashchennika, nadevaemoe na sheiu, pod rizoiu."  In
>> the story the priest then puts it over the woman confessing at the point
>> when he says "Bog prostit."  Can anyone tell me what we might call this
>> item in English? Is there an equivalent item in the vestments of a Catholic
>> priest, for example, which might work also for a translation?  Any thoughts
>> to mfrazier at slc.edu would be appreciated.

>> Thank you,
