When the bishop enters the altar the crosier is placed leaning against the iconostasis next to the icon of Christ to the right of the Royal Doors. When the prelate is not vested for services in the church, he uses a different, smaller staff that is in the form of a walking stick topped with a silver pommel. The Archbishop of Cyprus is uniquely privileged among the bishops in carrying a crosier that is shaped like scepter used by the Eastern Roman emperors. This privilege is one of the ‘’Three Privileges’’ granted to the Church of Cyprus by Emperor Zeno.
