Lots of people think we use pearls on some of our embroideries for the "Liberace" effect... but pearls have, since ancient times, been associated with Wisdom - and our omniscient God IS wisdom itself. Hence, whenever someone is atracted to ask about the pearls on our vestments, it's a perfect chance to speak about THE LOGOS - His HAGIA SOPHIA - or in other words, Our God, in whose service, and for whose Glory and Honour, these vestments are made.
