Choir:The Father, and the Son, and the
Holy Spirit: the Trinity one in essenceand undivided.
And the priest bows thrice, saying
secretly: I will love Thee, O Lord, mystrength; the Lord is my foundation,
and my refuge.
And he kisses the Holy Things that arecovered, thus: first the top of the holy
diskos, then the edge of the holy
chalice and the edge of the Holy Tablebefore him. If there be two priests, ormore, then they kiss all the holy things,
and one another on the shoulder.
If there be two priests, or more, then
they kiss all the holy things, and oneanother on the shoulder.
The senior concelebrant says:Christ is
in our midst.
And he that kissed replies: He is, andshall be.
Likewise the deacons, if there be two,or three, kiss each his own orarion,
where the figure of the Cross is, and
one another on the shoulder, sayingthat which the priests have said.
In like manner the deacon bows, on theplace where he stands, and kisses his
orarion where the figure of the Cross is,
and then exclaims: The doors, thedoors! In wisdom let us attend.

God, the Only-begotten, begotten of
the Father before all ages, Light ofLight, true God of true God, begotten,not made, of one essence with the
Father, by Whom all things were made;
Who for us men and for our salvation
came down from the Heavens, and wasincarnate of the Holy Spirit and the
Virgin Mary, and became man; andwas crucified for us under Pontius
Pilate, and suffered, and was buried;
and arose again on the third dayaccording to the Scriptures; and
ascended into the heavens, and sittethat the right hand of the Father; and
shall come again, with glory, to judge
both the living and the dead, Whosekingdom shall have no end. And in the
Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life,Who proceedeth from the Father, Who
with the Father and the Son together isworshipped and glorified, Who spake
by the prophets. In one Holy, Catholic,
and Apostolic Church. I confess onebaptism for the remission of sins. I
look for the resurrection of the dead;
and the life of the age to come. Amen.

Father on high, and invisibly abidesthere with us; and vouchsafe by Thy

Amen.And the chanters chant the communion

And the deacon goes into the holy altar,and standing at the right hand of the
priest, says:
Break the Holy Bread, master.
And the priest, breaking it into four
parts with attentiveness and reverence,says:
Broken and distributed is the Lamb of
God: broken, yet not divided; evereaten, though never consumed, but
sanctifying them that partake thereof.
It is necessary for thee to know, Opriest, that on breaking the Holy Lamb
thou must place the part with the signof the Cross downward on the holy
diskos, the incised side upward, as
before when it was cut. IC, therefore,is placed at the upper side of the holy
diskos, which is toward the east. And

But of the portion of the most holy

I give Thee a kiss as did Judas, but likethe Thief do I confess Thee:
Remember me, O Lord, in Thy
