The pastoral staff or holy staff or paterita is an accessory – a symbol of the high priesthood in the Orthodox Church of the bishop, the Metropolitan, the assistant bishop, the Archbishop and the Patriarch,

In the upper part it bears the Holy Cross between two ribbons, to recall the Lord’s saying “Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves” (Matt.)

The pastoral staff is called the ecclesiastical symbol, which is worn by bishops. This staff resembles a royal staff and is intended to show the divine authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His place and type is represented by the bishop.

The pastoral staff is a symbol of ecclesiastical power and on it is contained both a cross, which is always on top, a sign of the victorious power of the Most High, and two serpents, which surround the cross.

The rod symbolizes the spiritual authority of the bishop which is given through the only true bishop, who is the all-seeing God.

The Cross at the top of the Cross reveals the trophy of victory, the Cross of Christ, while the snakes next to the Cross of Rabdos symbolize the bronze serpent that Moses raised in the desert as a foreshadowing of the Crucifixion of Christ.
