Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church

by Russkaia pravoslavnaia tserkov

Hast thou renounced satan?

And the catechumen answereth, or his sponsor, I have renounced.

Again the priest interrogateth,

Hast thou renounced satan?

And he answereth, I have renounced.

Again the priest interrogateth a third time,

Hast thou renounced satan?

And he answereth, I have renounced.

Then the priest saith,

Blow upon him, and spit upon him.
