Singing the triumphal hymn, shouting, proclaiming, and saying:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!
Following the church’s singing, the priest continues the prayer:
With these blessed Powers, O Master, Who loves mankind, we also cry aloud and say: Holy are You and all-holy, You and Your only-begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit. Holy are You and all-holy, and magnificent is Your glory. You so loved Your world that You gave Your only-begotten Son, that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. When He had come and had fulfilled all the dispensation for us, in the night in which He was given up—or rather gave Himself up for the life of the world—He took bread in His holy, pure, and blameless hands; and when He had given thanks and blessed it, hallowed it, and broken it, He gave it to His holy disciples and apostles, saying: Take, eat; this is My Body which is broken for you for the remission of sins.
Faithful: “Amen.”
The priest: Likewise, after supper, He took the cup, saying: Drink of it, all of you; this is My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins.
Faithful: “Amen.”
The priest: Therefore, remembering this saving commandment and all those things that have come to pass for us: the Cross, the Tomb, the Resurrection on the third day, the Ascension into heaven, the Sitting at the right hand, and the second and glorious Coming,
Offering You Your own of Your own on behalf of all and for all.
Simultaneously, saying this, the priest (or deacon) folds his hands crosswise (right hand on top) and, lifting the holy diskos and the holy chalice, reverently bows.
Faithful: We praise You, we bless You, we give thanks to You, O Lord, and we pray unto You, our God.
The priest prays:
Further, we offer to You this rational and bloodless worship, and we ask, and pray, and supplicate: Send down Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts here presented.
The priest, blessing the Bread on the diskos, says: And make this bread the precious Body of Your Christ.
Faithful: “Amen.”
The priest, blessing the cup with Wine, says: And that which is in this cup, the precious Blood of Your Christ.
Faithful: “Amen.”
The priest, blessing both the Holy Gifts, says:
Making the change (= manifestation, from the word “to manifest”) by Your Holy Spirit.
The entire assembly of the faithful: Amen, amen, amen. (Traditionally, the entire assembly makes an earthly bow before the Gifts, venerating the true Body and Blood of Christ manifested).
The priest prays:
That these Holy Gifts may be to those who partake for the sobriety of soul, for the remission of sins, for the communion of Your Holy Spirit, for the fulfillment of the Kingdom of Heaven, for boldness towards You, and not for judgment or condemnation.
Further, we offer You this rational worship for those who have fallen asleep in the faith: ancestors, fathers, patriarchs, prophets, apostles, preachers, evangelists, martyrs, confessors, ascetics, and for every righteous spirit made perfect in faith.
And, taking the censer, the priest proclaims:
Especially for our most holy, most pure, most blessed and glorious Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary.
Faithful: It is truly meet to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim, who without corruption gave birth to God the Word, True Theotokos, we magnify you. (Or the appointed troparion of the feast is sung).
And the priest censes around the holy altar three times. Then the priest prays (commemorates the deceased and the living):
For Saint John the prophet, forerunner, and baptist, for the holy glorious and all-laudable apostles, for Saint(s) (name), whose memory we celebrate today, and for all Your saints, through whose prayers look down upon us, O God.
And remember all those who have fallen asleep in the hope of resurrection to eternal life (the priest commemorates the deceased) and give them rest where the light of Your face shines.
Further, we pray to You, Lord: remember all Orthodox bishops who rightly teach the word of Your truth, all the presbyterate, the diaconate in Christ, and every order of the clergy.
Further, we offer to You this rational worship for the whole world, for the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, for those who live in chastity and lead a godly way of life, and for all civil authorities. Grant them, O Lord, peaceful times, that we in their tranquility may lead a calm and peaceful life in all godliness and sanctity.
After the prayer, he proclaims:
Above all, remember, Lord, our Most Holy Father (name) Patriarch of Kyiv and All Rus’-Ukraine, and our Most Blessed Archbishop (name of the ruling bishop), and grant them for Your holy churches in peace, safety, honor, health, and length of days, rightly teaching the word of Your truth.
