It'd be great to get some pictures in here of bishops vested without sakkos.

Here you are. This is Bishop Mercury of New York (MP) celebrating the Liturgy of St. James:

I'm a little confused. He's not wearing the sakkos, but his omophorion has the hashmarks that I've only seen worn by Eastern Catholic bishops. What's up with that?

Dear Etnick,
I have seen many Orthodox Hierarchs wear these "hashmarks" on their omoforia.If you look closely at the icons of Holy Bishops,Metropolitans,Patriarchs, you will also see them there.They also appear in the photographs of the Old Believer Bishops that Fr.Mark has posted.Maybe one of the many priests on the forum can tell us about them and what they mean?I for one would like to know.

Last June 21, Metropolitan Hilarion and Bishop Peter of Cleveland consecrated ROCOR's newest bishop, John of Caracas.

Bishop Daniel of Erie was there and was vested in phelonion:

Incidentally, Bishop John of Caracas was vested in Old Ritualist style:

Is he Old Ritualist himself?

These are the old "badges" of hierarchal office which have been used for many centuries, as drawings exist from Kyivan Rus' of these even from the 12th-13th century.

As I recall it is three "bars" for a bishop, four for a metropolitan, and five for a Patriarch.
