A klobuk is an item of monastic clothing worn by monks and, in the Russian tradition, also by nuns, in the Byzantine Rite, composed of a kalimavka (stiffened round black headcovering) with an epanokalimavkion, a veil which completely covers the kalimavka and hangs down over the shoulders and back. == Overview == In the Greek tradition, the epanokalimavkion is simply laid over the kalimavka and allowed to hang freely, but in the Russian tradition they are permanently attached.
