From the first to last letters of the Greek alphabet, Alpha and Omega represent God’s eternal presence and complete sovereignty. First appearing in Revelation 1:8, this powerful symbol reminds believers that the Divine encompasses all existence – past, present, and future. It’s not just ancient letters; it’s the ultimate promise of completion.

Orphrey bands are decorative strips of fabric, often made from gold thread or silk, sewn onto church vestments like stoles, chasubles, and altar cloths. These bands add beauty and symbolize the importance of the garment. For instance, a priest’s stole typically has two orphrey bands, signifying full sacramental authority, while a deacon’s stole has one, reflecting their different role. On special occasions, more bands may be used to enhance the garment’s festivity. Beyond aesthetics, orphrey bands carry historical and symbolic significance in liturgical attire.
