the Deacon, who standeth before the holy doors, both saying three times, secretly:
God be merciful to me a sinner.
At the same time the Deacon girdeth himself with his Orarion crosswise, over both shoulders. And when he seeth the Priest stretch out his hands, and take the holy Bread to make the holy elevation, he calleth aloud:
Let us attend.
And the Priest, elevating the holy Bread, calleth aloud:
Holy things for holy persons.
The Choir. There is One Holy, one Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Then shall the veil be drawn before the holy doors, and the Kœnonikon of the day (or of the Saint who is commemorated,) be sung by the Choir. And the Deacon goeth into the holy Bema, and standing at the right hand of the Priest, who holdeth the holy Bread, saith,
Master, break the holy Bread.
