Is Hawaii East or West of here?

 I recently had the pleasure of working with an Orthodox Priest in Hawaii, who wanted a phelonion (Orthodox version of a chasuble to us Western Rite people) in Sarum, or Lenten Array. It's now officially time for him to put it away, as it is their Easter Sunday today, I think. So Happy Easter to (Orthodox) Hawaii, and here's some pics of the phelonion. 


(This one was pretty similar to a gothic style chasuble from the back, but cut shorter at the front, as is usual for a phelonion.) The stole and cincture are much wider, also. Made from pure linen, with red silk orphreys, and lining.









Here is Father using it during Lent.



I'm sure something much more splendid was worn for Easter!
