The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, the all-holy, and consubstantial, and life-originating Trinity, one Godhead and sovereignty, bless you, and vouchsafe unto you long life, well-favoured children, progress in life and faith, and replenish you with all the good things of the earth, and count you worthy of the obtaining of promised blessings, through the prayers of the holy God-bearing one, and of all the Saints.

A table is prepared, and on this they place the holy gospel and a dish of wheat, and on the wheat an empty oil cruet, and round it in the wheat seven twigs wrapped with cotton wool for the anointing; and they give tapers to all the priests. And, all standing round the table vested in phelonia, the first of the priests taketh the censer with incense, and censeth the table upon which the oil is round about, and all the church, or the house, and the people; and, standing before the table, looking towards the east, he beginneth,
Blessed be our God.... And Trisagion. O most holy Trinity.... Our Father.... For thine is the kingdom.... Lord, have mercy, xii. O come, let us worship.... thrice.
