Orthodox priest
Bearded liturgical celebrant
An Orthodox priest is a clergyman in one of the Eastern Orthodox churches—Greek, Russian, Serbian, and others.
Unlike Roman Catholic priests, Orthodox priests may marry before ordination, though bishops must be celibate.
They typically wear beards and distinctive vestments, and conduct liturgies rich in incense, icons, and chanting: The Orthodox priest blessed the bread and wine.
