From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kamilavka (Greek καμιλαυκα — also kamilavkion (καμιλαυκιον), kalimmavkhion (καλυμμαύχιον), or kalimafi (καλιμαυι)) is an item of clerical clothing worn by Orthodox Christian and Eastern Catholic monks (in which case it is black) or awarded to clergy as a mark of honor (in which case it is usually red or purple). It is a stiff hat that may be cylindrial with a flattened conical brim at the top (Greek style), flared and flat at the top (Russian style), or cylindrical and flat at the top (Serbian style).
