Vestments of the Russian Clergy Are Most Costly
A writer notes the Russian clergy wear the richest vestments in the world. The Holy Synod finances clerical garments with advances deducted from stipends. Within the Kremlin’s House of the Holy Synod, vestments valued at vast sums are said to exist, including a Nicene creed garment encrusted with jewels. Reports estimate pieces worth hundreds of thousands to millions, with rumors of a seal-like treasury unseen by the public.
