I had always thought the word was "mitre" but another spelling is "miter".  You see it spelled different ways in different places.  It actually comes from the Greek word "mitra", meaning "turban".  \n\nI hope this helps.

Seems to usually be called "the white horse of the Church Universal", but that's hardly a name, is it? There is some info here, but maybe not what you are looking for? \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George\n\ngood luck upon thy quest!

In chess, the castle (rook) is generally the first  piece that gets sacrificed if the player is inexperienced. That's why a newbie (someone inexperienced) is called a rookie.

There are three levels of Holy Orders, Deacon, Priest, and Bishop.\n\nBishops are the Apostles of today. Each one leads a diocese. Special types of bishop are archbishop, cardinal, and pope (who leads the whole Church).\n\nPriests are co-workers of the bishops and can lead a parish.  A special title for a priest is monsignor.\n\nDeacons assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.\n\nWith love in Christ.

The cap is called a Yamicka and is used as a show of respect to God. The most common colors are black and white, but they can actually be any color or combo of colors. But a Rabbi alone wears only black or white all the time. In the Jewish faith it is important to cover the crown of the head, in that faith only God is 'King' so men cover their 'crown' out of respect to the one true 'King'.

Dreidel\n \nThe dreidel (a four-sided spinning top) is associated with Hanukkah. It has four sides, each engraved with a different Hebrew letter:\n\nנ (Nun) \nג (Gimel) \nה (Hey) \nש (Shin) \nThese letters are an acronym for the Hebrew words, נס גדול היה שם, Nes Gadol Haya Sham—"A great miracle happened there" (referring to the miracle of the oil that took place in the Beit Hamikdash).\n\nIn Israel, the fourth side instead shows the letter פ (Pe), rendering the acronym, נס גדול היה פה, Nes Gadol Haya Po—"A great miracle happened here" (referring to the fact that the miracle occurred in the land of Israel).\n\nTraditional Jewish commentaries ascribe deep symbolism to the markings on the dreidel. One commentary, for example, connects the four letters with the four exiles to which the nation of Israel was historically subject—Babylonia, Persia, Greece, and Rome.[13]\n\nThe dreidel is the centerpiece of a game which is often played after the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah, to keep the children interested during the short time the candles are burning. Each player starts out with 10 or 15 coins, nuts or other markers, and places one marker into the "pot". The first player spins the dreidel, which lands with one of its symbols facing up, indicating the appropriate action to be taken, corresponding to one of the following Yiddish words:\n\nNun - nisht - "not" - the next player spins \nGimel - gants - "all" - the player takes the entire pot \nHey - halb - "half" - the player takes half of the pot, rounding up if there is an odd number \nShin - shtel ayn - "put in" - the player puts one or two markers in the pot \nAnother version differs in that nun is nem - "take", while gimel is gib - "give". The game may last until one person has won everything.\n\nThe dreidel game is played in part to commemorate a game that the Jews under Greek domination played to camouflage their Torah study. Though the Greeks made a law forbidding the study of Torah, the Jews would gather in caves to engage in learning. A lookout was posted to alert the group to the presence of Greek soldiers; if he spotted them, he would give a signal and the Jews would hide their scrolls and begin playing with spinning tops (dreidels) and coins. This ruse gave the impression that they were engaged in gambling, not learning.

It's a tradition passed down from the medieval knights. 2 Knights would approach and lift their helmet visors to expose their faces in a sign of friendship and respect. For a full historical brief - see the link below.

You will probably need to find a major academic library.  I doubt that the information exists in one place.  Technically a bishop I believe would cease being a member of a religious order upon election to episcopal office.  The orders are under the supervision of the episcopate.  I think you would need to find biographic sketches of each pope.  Many popes would lack a sketch.  You may be able to find them at www.newadvent.org.

cable would win and here's why:\n\nthe two are good hand to hand fighters, but i'd probably give that slight edge to cable. bishops main power is the ability the absorb energy ad multiply it over and over before firing it back at his opponent. I think this is one of the coolest powers. but the problem is that most of cable's abilities aren't really energy blast based. now cable could toss bishop around with telekinesis and even attck with physic blasts if necessary. \n\nWINNER: CABLE

Chess.\n\nVladimir Kramnik (Владимир Крамник), born June 25, 1975, is a Russian chess player and the current Classical World Chess Champion (although, due to a political rift in the world of chess, some consider FIDE champion Veselin Topalov to be the true World Champion). In the April 2006 FIDE ELO rating list Kramnik is rated 2729, ranking ninth in the world by rating.\n\nIn October 2000, he beat Garry Kasparov in a 16 game match played in London. In the eyes of the participants and many observers, this was a match for the world championship, although the International Chess Federation (FIDE), which has administered the title from 1948-present, did not recognise the match as such.

I heard the term used in "Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo" w/Rob Schnieder.  It was in a board game that was played by Deuce and a client.

An archbishop is a the chief bishop of a very large diocese.  It is a recognition of the size of the diocese.  A very large diocese may have several bishops, but the chief bishop is the archbishop.    Also, when the bishops of a conference get together, the archgbishop is the leader of the conference.

Just fyi, the hat is called the Papal Tiara or Triple Tiara. I'm not sure you could buy one...but you may be able to make one, check this link for directions:\n\nhttp://gauntlet.ucalgary.ca/story/3636\n\nHere is some info on the hat...\n\nThe Papal Tiara, also known as the Triple Tiara, in Latin as the 'Triregnum', or in Italian as the 'Triregno',[1] (#wp-endnote_Triregno) is the three-tiered jewelled papal crown of Byzantine and Persian origin that is the symbol of the papacy. Papal Tiaras were worn by all popes from Pope Clement V to Pope Paul VI, who was crowned in 1963. Though Pope Paul VI abandoned the use of his own tiara during the Second Vatican Council, symbolically laying it on the altar of St. Peter's Basilica, he did not abolish its use, explicitly requiring in his 1975 Apostolic Constitution Romano Pontifici Eligendo that his successor be crowned.\n\nHowever, his immediate successor, John Paul I, refused to be crowned, and John Paul II, who also declined a coronation, told the congregation at his Papal Inauguration Mass, immediately after John Paul I's sudden death, that it was "not the time" to be crowned, while disputing the claim by critics of the tiara that it represented a papal claim to temporal power.[2] (#wp-endnote_homily)\n18th century Papal Tiara, the oldest surviving tiara in the papal collection.\nEnlarge\n18th century Papal Tiara, the oldest surviving tiara in the papal collection.\n\nThough not currently used as part of papal regalia, the continuing symbolism of the papal tiara is reflected in its use on the flag and coats of arms of the Holy See and the Vatican. For a millennium until the reign of Benedict XVI it had been one of the ornaments surrounding a Pope's personal coat of arms. In a controversial break with tradition, on the first version of Benedict's personal coat of arms the tiara was replaced with the papal mitre. The mitre contains three levels reminiscent of the three tiers on the papal tiara.[3] (#wp-endnote_arms) This was the first such use since Pope Paul VI prohibited the use of mitres and croziers on coats of arms in 1969.[4] (#wp-endnote_crozier) However the Vatican subsequently issued documents which contained Benedict's coat of arms showing a tiara, not a mitre. It is unclear whether the initial arms announced have been withdrawn, or whether it is proposed to use two alternate designs, a "personal" set of arms with a mitre, and an official "state" set of arms for Benedict with a tiara.
