Priest:

Exclamation:
Priest:
Drink of it, all of you: this is My Blood of the New
Testament, which is shed for you and for many, for the
remission of sin.
People: Amen.
Priest:
Mindful, therefore, of this saving
commandment and all those things which came to
pass for us: the cross, the grave, the resurrection
on the third day, the ascension into the heavens,
the session at the right hand, the second and

Exclamation:
Priest:
Thine own of Thine own we offer unto Thee, in behalf
of all, and for all.
While the above is being said, the deacon, having formed a cross
with his arms ( by placing the right over the left ), and having lifted the
holy diskos ( with the right hand ) and the holy chalice (with the left),
he boweth with compunction.
