Does anyone know who these two Bishops are?

What is that giant orb called?

The man on the right and circled in red is CATHOLIC – an Eastern Catholic to be precise. That is His Beatitude Patriarch Lubomyr Husar, a Cardinal of the Catholic Church, and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, to which I belong.

The first picture - the late Major Archbishop and Catholicos of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church Cyril Mar Baselios. He was head of this church from 1995 until his sudden death on January 18, 2007.

What is that giant orb called?

It is an episcopal headgear, a kind of turban called masnapto, in the churches of the West Syriac tradition - the Syriac Orthodox Church (including the Jacobite Syrian Church in India), the Indian Orthodox Church (aka Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church) and the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, with the exception of the Syriac Catholic Church in which it is not worn.

I can never remember the name of the turban but it is worn by Syriac Orthodox and Syro-Malankara bishops. (Coptic bishops wear something similar, and again I don’t know what it’s called. The Maronites also have something similar but with a flat top, which is called a tobiyye and is worn by bishops and secular priests.) Anyway, it’s not a masnaphtho and is not worn liturgically, but is used as “choir dress”.

In the SOC, the masnaphtho is the appareled amice worn over the head by prelates. (The Maronites – and I believe the Syro-Malankara as well – sometimes use the term masnaphtho to refer to the small monastic hood worn liturgically and extra-liturgically over the phiro (similar to a zuchetto) by bishops and monastic clergy which is more commonly known as the eskimo, as well as to the appareled amice. Among the Maronites, the latter is worn by all bishops and priests (monastic and secular alike) and is put on over the head but dropped back after donning the phaino. The double-duty use of the name is understandable since both garments represent hoods.)

Thanks guys! I was referring to the orb that Patriarch Lubomyr Husar is holding.

Thanks guys! I was referring to the orb that Patriarch Lubomyr Husar is holding.

As you can see the Patriarch has is bare-headed in your picture. I believe His Beatitude is holding his mitre for this part of the funeral, which is somewhat like the one he wears below. Slightly different mitre, however, is worn during the Funeral.
