ORDER
OF THE
Divine and Sacred Liturgy,
AS PERFORMED IN THE GREAT CHURCH, AND IN THE HOLY MOUNTAIN OF ATHOS.
The Priest who is going to celebrate the Divine mystery must be careful above all things to be at peace with all men, and to bear no malice against any one, and to keep his heart, as far as he can, from evil thoughts; to use abstinence from eventide, and to be watchful until the time of Divine Service. When that time is come, after making a bow to the principal, he goeth into the church, and together with the Deacon, maketh three adorations before the holy doors.
Then the Deacon saith,
Master, give the blessing.
