Deacon. Wisdom.
Choir. The more honourable than the Cherubim.... And the rest.
And straightway the dismissal is made by the priest on this wise,
He that hath dominion over quick and dead, Christ our true God, through the prayers of his most pure Mother, of our venerable and god-bearing fathers, and of all his Saints, place the soul of his servant, name, departed from us, in holy tabernacles, and number it with the just, and have mercy upon us, as being good and the lover of mankind.
And then if all things be ready for the departure, the priest again maketh the beginning,
Blessed be our God....
And we begin to sing, Holy God.... with fear, and with every compunction.
And taking up the remains of him that hath fallen asleep, we go forth to the temple; preceded by the priests with tapers, and the deacon with the censer.
And when they come unto the temple, then the remains are placed in the porch, (or in the temple, as is here in great Russia the custom.)
