A miter is a type of ceremonial hat worn by bishops and some other clergy in the Christian tradition. It is typically made of rich fabrics and features two peaks or points at the top, symbolizing the dual nature of Christ. The miter is often adorned with decorative elements, such as embroidery or jewels, and is worn during religious services and special occasions. The miter is part of the broader category of liturgical vestments, which are garments and accessories used in religious ceremonies. It is usually worn alongside other items, such as the chasuble and stole, to signify the wearer's role and authority within the church.
