 What types of vestments are those deacons or priests wearing in this photo? They look kind of like the old "Cross" vestments often depicted in icons, but different? Are they a part of Serbian tradition? Likewise, do priests still wear the other style of "Cross" vestments? |

Common in Serbia.. The holy Patriarch Pavle (God rest him) wore such vestments a lot of the time. They are simple and inexpensive and I like them a lot. Besides the connection they make with the ancient Church and the icons depicting bishops, they make their own "fashion statement" about the frugality with church money which the clergy should exemplify.

So how much would a vestment set like that cost in comparison with others?
Also, do Serbian clergy additionally wear the actual design that is found in icons? Recently someone posted an Old Believer bishop or priest who was wearing that exact thing. Is it limited to them?

I have seen several Greek bishops with "polystavron" vestments, just like or very similar to what one finds in late medieval Icons. Once upon a time, only the Ecumenical Patriarch and certain high-ranking Metropolitans could wear such a vestment on high feast days. I believe the Ecumenical Patriarch still does so at the appointed times. Nowadays, variations on that theme (of which your original photo is but one example) are common for deacons, priests, and bishops. I've seen different versions in Greece, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Mt. Athos. |

That's more common with the Russians I think (maybe the Greeks too?), but not that common in other parts of the Orthodox world, such as the areas of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, for instance. |

You won't likely see exactly like in the icons anytime soon (like in most pictures of St Basil, for example) because bishops used to wear phelonia (chasubles), but now just stikhars I think it's called... |

Where's the Processional Cross and the Fans that suppose to be there There's no concept of supposed to be there. Yes, they are often found there in some churches but other arrangements are very common. Some churches have the fans immediately to the east of the Holy Table, with or without the processional Cross in the middle. Some have both the Processional Cross (to the right) and a processional icon of the Mother of God (to the left) between the fans. Others have the processional Cross and icon alone and the fans are kept somewhere else entirely, perhaps off to one side and not as part of a display. In large churches with more space in the altar, it is not uncommon for there to be an arrangement of processional Cross, icons, and fans somewhere between the Holy Table and the High Place, but not immediately to the east of the Holy Table, so you wouldn't necessarily see them in a close-up photograph of the Holy Table such as the one in the OP. Here, for instance, is Christ the Saviour in Moscow. There's the Cross and processional icon, as well as the pedestals for the trikiri-dikiri, but not a fan in sight. There is a Deacon on the far right.
Oh!...Are You sure......It's Hard to Tell..... Not that hard.  He's standing in the deacon's position and wearing the archdiaconal/protodiaconal orar. M |

There are 2 clergy with the same fabric/pattern on their vestments (the two to the far right of the pic) - the one on the left is a priest (his vestment on the outside is a phelonion, which is hanging off his body in the same way as the priest next to him), and the one on the right is the deacon, with an orarion hanging off his left shoulder. |

Right, we have an image of heavenly worship from the book of Revelation--7 candles before the throne. However, this has not always been universally so. For example, Bulgakov, I believe in his Kniga states that "at least 4" should be on/before the throne/holy table. |

I do remember now Of the things I mentioned or the seven candle holders on each side were actually not on the Altar, but on a separate stand pushed against the back of the Altar..with holes to insert the processional cross pole and fans.. And enough room for the Candle holders as well....Its sort of odd to see it another way minus the things mentioned when one is used to seeing them .....Hopefully this isn't a sign of more changes to come ,where bare minimum is better.....  |

The cross vestments are not uncommon, but most vestments are solid-color.
