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 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).
