Procession of the Lamb

Then the priest dries his hands and stands at the entrance of the sanctuary facing the west with a silk corporal in his left hand. The bread is presented to the priest along with a bottle of grape wine that he may check them. The number of breads should be three, five or seven. The deacon should hold the bottle of the grape wine in his right hand and a lit candle in his left hand. The priest selects of the offered lambs and make sure that it is pure of all blemishes. Also, the priest must make sure that the grape wine is in good condition by smelling it. If it is not in good condition, it will smell like vinegar and it would not be suitable for the service. The priest cleanses the lamb from top and bottom. Then he anoints the top side of the selected lamb with the grape wine, the other lambs and, finally, the bottom side of the selected lamb. The priest then looks towards the east and mentions the names of those whom he wishes to remember. For those who are alive, he says

Remember, O Lord, Thy servant (…). Keep him with the angel of peace, forgive him all his sins, and help him in all good deed.

The priest wraps the lamb in a silk corporal and holds above his head while facing the west. Also, the deacon will do the same with the bottle of grape wine while standing behind the priest. The priest says

Glory and honour, honour and glory to the All-Holy Trinity: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The priest proceeds around the altar once. The deacon follows the priest while he says

Pray for these holy and precious gifts, our sacrifices and those who have brought them.

Proceu[acqe `uper twn `agiwn timiwn dwrwn toutwn> ke quciwn `hmwn ke `procverontwn.

صلوا من أجل هذه القرابين المقدسة الكريمة وتقدماتنا والذين قدموها.

The priest says inaudibly

Remember also, O our Master, all those who have bedden us to remember them in our supplications and prayers. May the Lord remember them in His Kingdom of Heaven.

The priest stands at the western side of the altar and faces the east. He holds the bread in his left hand and bows greeting the other priests as mentioned earlier. Then he holds the bread close to the grape wine which the deacon should be holding in his right hand, and standing to the right side of the priest. The priest says

In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God.

"en `vran `m~Viwt nem ~P]hri nem Pi`pneuma `eqouab ounou; `nouwt.

باسم الآب والابن والروح القدس إله واحد.
