From Wikipedia

The Orarion (Greek: ὀράριον; Slavonic: орарь, orar) is the distinguishing vestment of the deacon and subdeacon in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches and Eastern Catholic Churches. It is a narrow stole, usually 10–13 centimetres (4–5 inches) wide and of various lengths, made of brocade, often decorated with crosses (three, five or seven) embroidered or appliquéd along its length. It is usually trimmed with decorative banding around the edges and fringe at the two ends. In antiquity, the term orarium referred not to a liturgical vestment but to a narrow strip of cloth used as a sweat-cloth, napkin, handkerchief, scarf, or bandage, comparable to the sudarium. Greek writers used the term phossonion (Φωσσώνιον) for the same item. Only at a later period did the word orarium / orarion come to be applied to a vestment worn by the clergy.
