**8. The priest clothes**

Other valuable objects belonging to the church are the priest clothes: one long black robe (reverend) and a brown color vestment article, embroidered with crosses (patrafir), dating back since 1950, are worth mentioning (**Figure 10**).

Another patrafir, a long vestment article that is often hanged around the priest neck during religious ceremonies (the length is about 1.30 cm) is kept

in the church. Is made of natural silk with very exceptional artwork featuring colorful flowers (**Figure 11**).

The vestment's age has not been assessed, but judging by the unique style (not at all common today), and by its degrading state, we can assume it dates back to the XIX century.

#### **9. The icons**

The icons belonging to the wooden church of Drăghia are today at the History Museum [5]. They were picked up together with the cult books in 1977. All that is left in the church today in the icon from the holy table, the altar table, representing a portrait of Mary, Jesus and Josef. It is made in oil on canvas, with a beautiful and simple wood frame [6]. As a style it follows a renaissance approach, the portraits are very realistic, and was probably brought in the church when Greek- Catholics religion dominated in the area (**Figure 12**).

The iconostasis presents on the lower level 3 frames made out for the most valuable icons belonging to the church, paintings that today sit in the History Museum: in the North, Saint Nicholas, in the middle Virgin Mary

and baby Jesus, with guardian angels, in the South Archangel Michael, the protector of the church (**Figure 13**).
