222 ANDREW J. SHIPMAN MEMORIAL 



"who didst rise from the dead," but this addition has been 

 condemned at Rome as being a rehc of the Patripassian heresy. 

 During the Trisagion the Kesliotc is jingled in accompaniment. 

 Then the Greek Ektene or Litany is sung, and at its conclu- 

 sion the reader reads the Prophecy; then the Antiphon 

 before the Epistle is sung, and the epistle of the day read. 

 At the end of each the choir responds Alleluia. Then the dea- 

 con announces "Orthi" (stand up) and, taking the Gospels, 

 reads or intones the gospel of the day. Immediately after- 

 wards, the Armenian form of the Nicene Creed is said or sung. 

 It differs from the creed as said in the Roman and Greek 

 Churches in that it has, "consubstantial with the Father by 

 whom all things were made in Heaven and in Earth, visible 

 and invisible; who for us men and our salvation came down 

 from Heaven, was incarnate and was made man and perfectly 

 begotten through the Holy Ghost of the most Holy Virgin 

 Mary; he assumed from her body, soul, and mind, and all that 

 in man is, truly and not figuratively" ; and "we believe also in 

 the Holy Ghost, not created, all perfect, who proceedeth from 

 the Father (and the Son), ztrho spake in the Law, in the 

 Prophets and the Holy Gospel, who descended into the Jordan, 

 who preached Him who was sent, and who divelt in the Saints," 

 and after concluding in the ordinary form adds the sentence pro-

 God and the Holy Ghost are of another substance or that they 

 are mutable; the Catholic and Apostolic church condemns." 

 Then the Confession of St. Gregory is intoned aloud, and the 

 Little Ektene sung. The kiss of peace is here given to the 

 clergy. The deacon at its close dismisses the catechumens, and 

 the choir sings the Hymn of the Great Entrance, when the 

 bread and wine are solemnly brought to the altar. "The Body 

 of our Lord and the Blood of our Redeemer are to be before 

 us. The Heavenly Powers, invisible, sing and proclaim with 

 uninterrupted voice, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts." 

 Here the curtains are drawn, and the priest takes off his 

 crown (or the bishop his mitre). The priest incenses the holy 

 gifts and again washes his hands, repeating Psalm xxvi as 

 before. After the salutation is sung, the catechumens are dis- 

 missed, and the Anaphora or Canon begins. The Preface is
