The cope (center in the two top pictures) is worn by the officiant (either clergy or lay), most often at non-eucharistic liturgies. However, it is also worn at festival eucharistic celebrations when there is a major procession.

The cope is a dark shade of green with lighter green panels along the front opening, at the collar, and down the middle of the back. The panels along the front are decorated with the same olive branch bearing both leaves and fruit found on the lectern hanging. The back panel features three different symbols. The first symbol, which appears in the upper left, is a small lamp. The second symbol, in the middle, is an elongated version of the Chi-Rho monogram of Christ, which is found in a different form on the lectern hanging and chalice veil. This symbol is composed of the Greek letters chi (X) and rho (P), the first letters of the word “Christ” in Greek. The third symbol, on the right, is the olive branch found on the front panels.

The dalmatic (left in the two top pictures, worn by the deacon at Holy Communion) is a light shade of green with two darker green panels down both front and back. The panels feature the same stalks of wheat and grapes—symbols of the bread and wine of Holy Communion—found on the altar frontal.

The tunicle (right in the two top pictures, worn by the subdeacon at Holy Communion) is also light green with one darker green pannel down the middle of both front and back. The panels repeats the wheat and grape motif found on the dalmatic.

The chasuble (bottom picture) is worn by the celebrant at eucharistic celebrations. It is not worn at non-eucharistic services.

The chasuble is a dark shade of green with center panels of lighter green down the middle of both front and back. The same three symbols decorate both front and back panels. The first symbol, which appears in the upper left, is the bread and cup of the Eucharist. The second symbol, in the middle, is the same elongated version of the Chi-Rho monogram of Christ found on the cope. The third symbol, on the right, is a single stalk bearing both wheat and grapes, symbols of the bread and wine of Holy Communion. This symbol also appears on the altar frontal.
