OF S. CHRYSOSTOM.
79
And the Deacon, after he hath consumed the holy gifts, putteth water into the Cup, and drinketh it all. He then wipeth the Cup with a sponge, and placeth the sacred vessels in their usual place. After that, both he and the Priest wash their hands, bow themselves before the holy table, give thanks to God for all things, and retire.
