OUTER CASSOCK (Gr. Exo-Rason or Exorasson; Sl. Ryassa or Riassa) - A long, floor-length garment, loosely fitting. Outer cassock is a non-liturgical robe worn by Orthodox clergy both as ordinary daily clothing (their out-of-doors and domestic distinct attire) and underneath "liturgical robes" (vestments which are worn during church services). The outer cassock symbolizes the expiration of a clergyman in this world, and his burial and subsequent dedication to God and the Heavenly Kingdom. Over the riassa the bishop wears a panagia and a cross, while a priest wears only a cross. Wearing the outer-cassock is common to bishops, priests, deacons, monks and nuns (permission to wear a cassock is often given to seminarians, monastic novices, sub-deacons and readers in parishes).
