THE DIVINE LITURGY
Thy precious blood. When Thou wast fastened to the cross, and pierced with a spear, Thou didst pour forth immortality to men; O our Saviour, glory to Thee.
Then the Deacon saith,
Master, give the blessing.
And the Priest saith,
Blessed be our God always, now, and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Then the Priest taketh the Oblation in his left hand, and the holy Spear in his right, and maketh the sign of the cross thrice over the seal of the Oblation with the Spear, and saith,
In remembrance of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ. (thrice.)
And thus he thrusteth the Spear into the right side of the seal, and saith, as he cutteth,
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter.
