Uyarapettavante rehasya sthalathil………..Psalms 91 and 121 You, that sit in the shelter of the Most High, and abide in the glory, in the shadow of God Say to the Lord; My trust and my refuge; the God in Him I confide For He shall deliver you from the snare of stumbling, and idle talk; He shall keep you under his feathers, and by wings, you shall be covered; and His truth shall encompass you like an armor. You shall not fear from the terror by the night and from the arrow that flies by the day. And from the voice that travels in the darkness and from the devastating wind in the noon. Thousands shall fall at your side, and ten thousands at your right side. They shall not come near to you, but with your eyes you shall see only; You shall see the revengeof the wicked. (since you have said), thou art the lord, my trust, who hast placed Thy abode in the hights’ There shall no evil come near to you; neither shall any plague draw near to your dwelling place. For He shall give His angels command concerning you, who shall protect you in all your ways. And they shall bear you up in their hands, lest your foot stumble. You shall tread upon the adder and the lion and the dragon (For Lord has said): ‘Since he has sought me, I will deliver him and strengthen him’ Since he has known my name he shall call upon me, and I will answer him, and be with him in affliction. I will strengthen and honor him. With long life, will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. I will lift up my eyes to the mountain, from whence comes my helper.
My help is from the Lord’ who has made the heaven and the earth. He will not suffer your foot to tremble, your keeper shall nor slumber; For neither slumbers, nor sleeps the keeper of isreal. The Lord is your keeper. The Lord shall overshadow you with His right hand The sun shall not smite you by day; nor the moon by night. The Lord shall take care of you from all evil; the Lord shall take care of you life. He shall watch over your exit and your entrance, henceforth for ever.

  O Lord, who sits in the secret place of the Most High, shelters us beneath the shadow of the wings of Thy Mercy, and has compassion on us. Thou, who hear all things, in Thy loving kindness, hearken to the supplication of Thy servants Grant us O Messiah, our Savior a peaceful evening and a sinless night, for Thou art a glorious king, and unto Thee, are our eyes lifted up. Forgive our debts and our sins; have mercy upon, us both in this world and is to come. May Thy loving kindness Shelter us O, Lord, and thy grace be upon our faces. May Thy Cross protect us from evil one and his hosts. Let Thy right handover shadow us all the days of our life, and thy peace reign among us, and thou give hope and salvation to the soul that pray to Thee. By the prayers of St. Mary, Thy Mother, and of all the Saints, O God, forgive us our debts and have mercy upon us. Prayer of Cherubim Ezk. 3:12 Ennekum Thante Idathil Ninnum…..

Nicene Creed
We believe in one true God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Who was begotten of the Father before all worlds; light of light, true God of true God; begotten and not made; and being of one substance with His Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God. And He became man, and was crucified for us in the days of Pontius Pilate, and He suffered, died and was buried, and the third day He rose according to His will, and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of His Father; and He will come again with great glory to judge both the living and the dead; and His kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life to all, Who proceeds from the Father; Who together with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the Prophets and Apostles.

And in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the new life in the world to come.
Psalms
Lord, I have called upon You, answer me; ceive my words make respond to me ! Give ear to my words and accept them. Let my prayer be set before You as incense, the offering of my hands like the evening oblation. Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth, and a guard over my lips. That my heart may not incline to any evil word, and practice wicked works. I will not be intimate with men of iniquity. Let the righteous man teach and rebuke me; Let not the oil of the wickeds anoint my head; For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds. Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the rock, and they have heard my words how sweet they are. Their bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, as when the ploughshare cleaves up the earth. But I lifted my eyes upon You, O Lord; In You I put my trust. Do not cast away my soul. Keep me from the hand of the boastful who have laid snares for me. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass on safely.
Psalm 141 (142)
  I cry out to the Lord with my voice; with my voice to the Lord I make my supplication. Pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have secretly set a snare for me. Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me. Refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul. I cried out to You, O Lord: I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me."
Psalm 118 (119)
  Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgements. Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your judgements.
Psalm 116 (117)
  Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples ! For His merciful kindness is great toward us. The truth of the Lord endures forever. Bless O Lord !

Vigils Psalms

Prayer of the vigils Awaken us, Lord, from our sleep in the sloth of sin that we may praise your watchfulness, you who watch and do not sleep; give life to our death in the sleep of death and corruption, that we may adore your compassion, you who live and do not die; grant us in the glorious company of the angels who praise you in heaven to praise you and bless you in holiness, because you are praised and blessed in heaven and on earth, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and always and forever, Amen.

Psalm 133 (134)
Barekhmore. Bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, Who by night stand in the house of the LORD! Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. The LORD who made heaven and earth bless you from Zion!

Psalm 118, (119: 169-176)
Let my cry come before You, O LORD; Give me understanding according to Your word. Let my supplication come before You; Deliver me according to Your word. My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteousness. Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments. Psalm 116 (117) Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples ! For His merciful kindness is great toward us. The truth of the Lord endures forever. Bless O Lord !
The Song of Mary (Luke 1: 46-55)
And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever."

The Psalms of the Song of Mary
Psalm 132 How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-- Life forevermore. Psalm 148 Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars of light! Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created. He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away. Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all the depths; Fire and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling His word; Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; Beasts and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl; Kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth; Both young men and maidens; old men and children. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints-- Of the children of Israel, a people near to Him. Psalm 149 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute on them the written judgment-- This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD! Psalm 150 Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!

Psalm 116 (117) Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! For His merciful kindness is great toward us. The truth of the Lord endures forever. Bless O Lord !

Morning Psalms  (Psalm 51)
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight-- that You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart-- these, O God, You will not despise. Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then they shall offer bulls on Your altar. Barekhmore Psalm 63 O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. Barekhmore Psalm 113 Praise the Creator of the light ! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down the LORD's name is to be praised. The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth? He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, That He may seat him with princes-- with the princes of His people. He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! Barekhmore

Mor Ephrem's Boovooso (Nangalkulla Karthave)
Lord, Thy mercy on us cast,
Use our service, ev'ry piece,
Grant us from Thy treasure vast
Mercy, blessing and release,

Let me, Lord, before Thee stand,
Wakefully my watch I'd keep,
Should I fall to slumber's hand,
Guard Thou me from sinful sleep

Waking, if to wrong I take,
Mercifly absolve Thou me;
Sleeping, if a sin I make,
Pardon grant in clemency.

By the cross of Thy disgrace
Grant me, Lord, a restful sleep,
Evil dreams do Thou efface,
Wicked thoughts far from me keep.

Through the night conduct me, Lord,
Peaceful sleep give Thou to me
Lest foul thoughts in me find hord,
Phantoms lest a terror be.

Grant Thy angel's watchful view,
Guard my limbs without abate,
Hateful lusts in me subdue,
By Thy living flesh I ate.

While I lie and sleep in calm,
May Thy blood my keeper be.
Let my soul dwell free from qualm
In Thine image mad'st Thou me.

Overshadow with Thy hand,
Me a handicraft of Thine,
Let me in Thy fortress stand,
Mercy shielding round be mine.

While my body silent lies,
May Thy pow'r its vigil keep,
Let my breath like incense rise,
T'ward Thy greatness in my sleep.

Let not evil touch my bed,
By Thy mother's pleas for me,
By Thy blood atoning shed,
Satan's harm remov-ed be.

Since Thy word abides the same,
Guarded by Thy cross I'd be;
Waking, I shall praise Thy Name,
Who didst love e'en feeble me.

Grant O Lord, a list'ning ear,
With desire to do Thy will;
Let Thy peace at eve be near,
Night Thy righteousness fulfil.

Saviour Christ, our hearts inspire,
Thee to see effulgent bright-
Thee whose honour shines as fire,
Worshipped by all sons of light.

Jesus, Saviour of the World,
Thou who dwellest in the light,
Praise we Thee for love unfuried-
Mercy, now with future bright.

Lord, our God, we give Thee praise.
Praise a thousand thousand fold
Tens of Thousands praises raise,
Mercy now, till time untold.

Thou who hearest pray'rs to Thee,
Supplications who dost heed,
Hear us reconcil-ed be,
Mercy show, and grant our need.

LEADER: Have mercy upon me, O Lord, according to Thy loving kindness, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, blot out my transgressions.

RESPONSE: Wash me from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins; for I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sins are ever before me.

LEADER: Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done evil before Thee. For Thou shall be justified Thy word, and blameless in Thy judgment. For I was born in iniquity and in sins did my mother conceive me.

RESPONSE: For Thou hast desired the truth, and made known to me the mysteries of Thy wisdom. Sprinkle upon me with Thy hyssop; purge me with it, and I shall be whiter than snow.

LEADER: Fill me with Thy joy and gladness, and my feeble bones shall rejoice. Turn Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

LEADER: I Praise Thee, O God, for all Thy blessings, which Thou hast given me.

All: Although unworthy, I pray Thee, /
that Thou mayest be pleased /
to give me that devotion and love for Thee, /
Grant me all things that are helpful to my life, /
and pleasing to Thy divinity. /
Conduct me according to Thy good pleasure, /
and fulfill in me Thy good will always. /
O Jesus Christ, our Lord, /
I confess that I am a grievous sinner, /
who hast sinned before Thee, more than all men. /
I implore Thee for the remission of my sins O God;
since Thou art merciful, pardon me everything /
that I have done wickedly against Thee. /
I have been detested by all men, /
from my birth until now. /
Forgive all those who have done wrongs to me. /
O Lord, Thou showest kindness, /
and art an ocean of mercy. /
Reckon Thou my sins as a mere drop of mud, /
in the sea of Thy mercy; /
or a drop of mud cannot make a vast ocean muddy.
O God, have mercy upon me, /
according to Thy loving kindness and /
blot out all my sins /
according to the abundance of Thy grace. /
Cleanse me from my defilements, /
and purge me from my sins; /
for I acknowledge my transgressions, /
and my sins are ever before me. /
O Jesus Christ, our Lord, /
deliver me from the torments of hell; /
from the unquenchable fire, /
and the undying worms, prepared for me, /
and for those that are wicked and sinful like me. /
Though undeserving, make me worthy of /
that supreme joy in the other world, /
prepared for Thy loving friends, /
which neither the eyes have seen, /
nor the ears heard, not the heart has conceived. /
Since Thy mercy can forgive /
iniquities by thousands and thousands /
and by ten thousands and ten thousands; /
and Thou hast in no time, /
justified publicans and the harlots, /
forgive my sins by Thy grace. /
O Lord, I beseech Thee by the love of Thy Father,
and by the good will of Thy Holy spirit. /
Pardon my great sins, and my grievous faults, /
by the prayers of Thy angels, and of all Thy Saints.
O Lord, Jesus Christ, O Creator, /
since Thou protectest and savest us, /
praise and worship are due to Thee /
and to Thy Father, who sent Thee for our salvation,
and to Thy Holy Spirit, now and always, forever. Amen.

4 Parts

(1) Holy Sanctuary (Madbaha) (Holy of Holies)
(2) Place inside the rails (Azhikakam) (Holy place)
(3) Nave (Hykala) (Main Hall for Congregation)
(4) Portico (Northex) (Poomukham) (Place for gentiles)  ( not for all Churches !!)
The Holy Sanctuary (Madbaha)
Here there is an altar, a table of sacrifice. In the Madbaha there is censer, a cross instead of the budded staff of Aaron, Paten and Chalice in the place of the life giving Manna and the vessels of sacrifice, burning candles to lighten the vessels of sacrifice as the glorious Ark like cherubims overshadowing the covenant box. (heb: 9:4- 5).The Madbaha is depicted as equivalent to Golgatha. It is compared as the Mount of Sinai where God descended down and visited. It is also compared to paradise where there is tree of life and unending songs of the sacred congregation. Above all it is held as heaven itself.

The Veil (Altar Curtain)
The Veil, which separates the Madbaha and the Hykala, signifies the sky, which separates the Heaven and Earth.

Church Equipments
Altar
The meaning of the word is ‘throne’. There are also such names as ‘Table of life, tomb of the Lord. The step (Darga) infront of the altar signifies the mansion of Sehion where Old Testament gave way to New Testament.

Thablitho (the portable altar)
This is a piece of wooden slab upon which the paten and the Chalice are placed. It can also be made of marble slab. Wood is better. If it is wood, it should be made of tree which contains a kind of milky or oily substance. Jack wood slab is used ordinarily. Teak and Rose wood etc. Are not used. It will have only 18 inches long and 9 inches broad. Though there is no altar, the Holy Qurbana can be celebrated any where with this slab. With out this, the Qurbana cannot be celebrated.

The Cross
The Cross installed in the middle and top most part, signifies the budded staff of Aaron. It reminds that we are protected from Satan in a wondrous way.

Candles
Candles are lighted on the altar (Mathew: 5:14) Seven based on the golden lamb of Jerusalem Temple or 12 representing the apostles. It reminds us the saying of our Lord “ I am the light of the world”. John 1:8, 8:12. The apostles lighted so many lambs when they were meeting to break bread. Acts 20:8. It reminds us that like these candlesticks our souls should also be lighted brightly by Holy Spirit.

Chithola (The covering of the Altar)
It is a beautiful covering decorating the altar. It represents the winding sheet in which the body of our Lord was wrapped at the time of burial.

Chalice (Kasa)
It is a cup of sacrifice, to keep wine, with a stand to handle.

Paten (Peelasa)
A flat plate of sacrifice to keep the bread

Spoon (Tharvodo)
It is used to take wine to pour over the bread.

Star (Astaric - Kavukubo)
This is a support in the sign of cross over the Paten so that the covering over it may not touch the holy body. It represents the star, which appeared over the manger.

Viri Kottam (Group of coverings)
• Viri- A piece of satin cloth with pieces of different colors stitched together of size 2 ½ feet or 3 ½ feet long and wide to cover the Tablitho.
• Shooshepo (Sosaffa) (Air) It is a white cloth to cover both the Chalice and Paten. It signifies the swaddling clothes of Baby Jesus in the manger (Luke : 2:7). The seamless clothes (garment with out stitches) of our Lord (John 19:23). It also signifies the light called “Shekina” over the mercy seat or covenant box. (Numbers 9:15) More over it is considered as the bright cloud that overshadowed at the time of transfiguration. (Mathew 7:15). We can think that the glorious veil covering the ministry of the spirit, in the Old Testament which is not removed for long is removed in Christ. 2 cor: 3: 7-18). When it is covered by the Shoosepo, one corner is folded up. This signifies the transformation of the Old Testament to New Testament .
• Mkablono(Receptacle)
This is a piece of cloth to cover the Chalice and Paten separately when they are not covered together with Shooshepo.
• Gmurtho (Small Cushion)
It is used for placing the spoon. It is also used to wipe the lips of children after communion. It is equivalent to the tongs with which the Seraphims took the live coal. (Isa: 6:6)
• Towel
It is used to wipe the priest’s fingers which touched the Holy articles. Also it is used to wipe the vessels of sacrifice.

Gospel Stand (Lectern)
It is decorative table to place the Holy Bible. It depicts the sermon of mount of our Lord. This also depicts as the second altar in the Madbaha.

The Censer (Doopakutti)
This vessel which brings forth sweet smell of incense represents the church. It makes us to remember the dedication of oneself to God. (Eph: 5:2) “ He gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God”. It also makes the worship heavenly. Rev 8:3-4 “ Another angel who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints went up before God from the angels hand”. The lower cup of the censor represents the earth and the upper cup the heaven. The chain represents the Holy Trinity. Two chains represent the Human and Godly nature of the Son .One for the Father and the other for the Holy Spirit. The 12 bells represent the 12 apostles. The 72 links stands for 72 evangelists. The charcoal represents sinners. Fire represents the Holy Spirit and the Frank-incense good deeds. The incense shows the grace of the Holy Trinity. As the smoke goes up to the high so also our prayers should go high (Psalm 141:2). The censer in a silent language exhorts us to please others by filled up with the glorifying fire of the Holy Spirit. (Hebrew 12 :29)

Marvahso
At certain time when worship is going on the altar, two persons standing on both sides make jingling and pleasing sound by shaking a round object on the top of a long stick. It represents the angels and the fluttering of their wings.

Msaknsabino
It is a beautifully decorated box round in shape with rays alround to preserve the Holy Qurbana for days and days. This is not seen in all churches. This signifies that Christ resides with us always (Mathew 28:20)

Hand bell
The deacons use this to proclaim the important occasions. Occasions (1) When informing the Holy birth at the start of the Holy Qurbana. (2) When we say “ Oh thou who was crucified for us” three times. (3) At the time of reading of the Gospel. (4) Blessing of the Censer. (5) Celebration of the shooshepo. (6) Waving the hands over the Qurbana. (7) Blesses the bread. (8) Again when the priest raises his hands. (9) Waves hand over the Paten and Chalice . (10) In the midst of the song “Hearken, gracious Lord”. (11) Elevation of Paten and Chalice. (12) Proceeds towards the west with Paten and Chalice.

Big bell
It is used to inform the time of the worship and to make us to remember the important occasions in between the worship. This bell is fixed at the top of the church. We should make the sign of the cross when we hear the sound of the bell considering it as the bugle sound of salvation. The sound of the bell attracts the believers to the church like the bugle sound of the Shepherd which attracts all the scattered sheep together or like the sound of the mother bird which attracts the young ones to the protection under her wings. The wise, when he hears the sound hasten to the Holy place with enthusiasm.Occasions to use:- (1) Before the start of the worship the first bell rings 33 times, in remembrance of the age of our Lord. (2) The Second bell informs that the worship will start soon. (3) When the Qurbana starts publicly. (4) At the elevation of the Paten and Chalice. (5) When proceeds towards the west with the Paten and the Chalice.

THE SERVICE BOOK OF THE HOLY QURBANA

(Everyone entering the Church, shall make the sign of the cross and say)
In reverence, will I enter Thy house, and offer my vows to Thee.
(While entering the Sanctuary)
Into the Sanctuary of God I come, even to the God who gives joy to my childhood.
(While kissing the Alter)
Into Thy house have I entered O God, and before Thy throne have I worshipped, O Heavenly King, forgive all the sins that I have committed against Thee.

Song# 6 

Come the time of pray'r is here,
Come for pardon, have no fear:
Tis the time to ask a new
Tis the time for mercy too.

See the holy priest ascend
Mounting stairs which heav'nward tend
There the pure qurban to raise
For whoev'r communicates.

Mercy here is full and free,
Come beloved come and see
Give the kiss of peace divine
Hearts sincere in love combine

Let us now be reconciled
To each heavenly father's child
So, before god's throne of grace
Find compassion on his Grace.

It is the central act of worship in our church. All other sacraments are completed only by Holy Qurbana (Eucharist). It is both a sacrament and a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving and a sacrificial intercession and propitiation. This sacrament leads one through the forgiveness of sins and remission of punishments to a growth in holiness. It is the remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary.

The Holy Eucharist is divided into three main parts:

1. Pre- Communion Service

2. Communion Service ( public Celebration)

3. Post Communion Service

  Pre- Communion Service
Entrance into the Sanctuary:

The celebrant prest enters into the sanctuary with prayers (Ps. 43:4), bows his head before the altar with penitence, and goes around kissing the corners of the altar starting from the right hand side with praise and thanksgiving. (Ps. 118:27-28)

The Vesting: After the preliminary prayers and preparation, the celebrant washes his hands and puts on his vestments (seven pieces for the priest and twelve for bishops ) The vestments are “for glory and for beauty” ( Ex. 28:2)

1. The black robe : This denotes the sinful nature

2. Surplice : The white robe of incorruption through the purification of the holy spirit . it symbolizes purity and holiness.

3. Stole: This is to grid with strength in defeating the enemies (Ps. 18: 39-40). It is also the breast plate of righteousness ( Eph. 6:14)

4. Girdle : This is the sword for triumphant( Ps. 45:3) and the belt signifying the truth (Eph. 6:14)

5. Sleeves : two sleeves to make the hands instruments of righteousness and good works. ( Ps. 18: 34 -36) . They are armours.

6. Chasuble or Cope: This is the robe of glory and righteousness. (Ps. 132: 9-10)

7. Shoes: They symbolize the gospel of peace (Eph. 6:15). They are to underfoot serpents, scorpions, and all the powers of the enemy and to cast down under the foot all false pride that is exalted against God. ( 2 Cor. 10:5)

The Offering:

After the vesting, the celebrant ascends the Altar step.

Altar Step : The priest stands on the altar step to arrange the offering; and after the recitation of the creed he stands to continue the Holy Eucharist. This reminds our lord breaking the bread in the upper room.(Mk. 14:15). The step is the ladder to heaven. The Eucharist is being held there where ranking angels ascend and descend.

In arranging the offering , the priest here places the chalice and the paten; their coverings; the sponge; the spoon and such other needed things to offer the sacrifice.

The paten and the chalice: The paten for the bread and the chalice for the wine are placed on the white portion of the covering of the portable altar.

Astaric (Star): This supports the veil above the paten so that it may not touch the Holy body . It is also the symbol of the star seen over the manger at the birth of our Lord.

Spoon: The sacramental spoon is to administer the Holy body and Blood.

Tongs (Gmourto): This small cushion is compared to the tongs with which the Seraphins placed the live coal on Isaiah’s lips (Isaiah 6:1 ff). This is used as the sacramental spoon rest, and also to wipe the lips of children after communion.

The Sponge: Towels are generally used instead to wipe the fingers of the priests that touch the Body and Blood of our Lord. This is also for wiping the paten and the chalice. This signifies more careful handling of the bread (Body) and the wine (Blood).

The Veils: Two richly stitched veils are used to cover the paten and the chalice. The covering period is compared to the time of our Lord with the father in the Old Testament.

The Air (Shushafo): Shushafo, generally white in color, with embroidered cross and sometimes angels, etc signifies the swaddling clothes of baby Jesus in the manger, in the sepulcher, and the stone that rolled against the tomb. It is also considered as the bright cloud overshadowed at the time of transfiguration on Mount Tabore. (Mt 17:5). When the mysteries are covered with the sushafo, it is the stage of our Lord in the womb of the mother St Mary (humanity), and when it is removed it is the period of the intercession after the resurrection and before the arrival in heaven. The covering of the holy mysteries by shushafo reveals the fact that the divine mysteries are hidden from the understanding of men, and we cannot comprehend how divinity and humanity are united in Christ, as we cannot perceive how the bread and the wine become the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bread and Wine: After arranging the chalice and other things, the celebrant places the newly made special leavened in the paten. The prayer at this time resembles the versus in Acts 8:32 and Isaiah 53: 8. This bread for the holy Eucharist, is made out of the four outstanding ingredients for life: 1) Wheat Flour which stands for clay or dust or mud 2) Water 3) Yeast stands for air, and 4) Salt is for fire.

Why Leavened bread ??

Our Lord used the regular leavened bread, i.e. “Lahamo” or “Artos”, and not “Pathiro” or “Azyme” at the last supper on the eve of Passover ( John 13:1, 29, 18:28, 19:14,31).

The tradition is that the Apostles saved a portion of the mixed flour used to make a bread for the last supper to use as Yeast in preparing the bread thereafter for the communion services and this practice has been continuing ever since. All churches followed this practice for the first ten centuries. Our church still follows the same tradition also to usher that the Lord is the life-giving leaven of the Universe.

After the bread is placed in the paten, the priest mixes water with wine in the cup pours the same in the chalice. This reminds us that the divinity and the humanity are mixed in our Lord Jesus Christ ; That our Lord mixed wine and water at the last supper; and also that blood and water came out, when pierced at His side on the cross to wash away the sins of all creation.

In the Old Testament times, lambs, calves, doves and pigeons were offered for sacrifice. In the New Testament, instead, only wheat flour and grape wine have been used. People used to bring the bread and wine to the church to offer. For practical purposes, this custom has been changed by making bread at the church and arranging wine there for which certain amount is being paid to the priest for offering the sacrifices.

Bread is a sign of Life. When we offer bread, we offer our life our own lives to God.

Preparation of the Altar:

Here the priest first kneels down before the altar and says a prayer of penitence and self-offering inaudibly. There after he kisses the altar, ascends the altar step and takes the covers of the mysteries with special prayers. Then follows the intercession with the paten and the chalice held I hands crossed against each other. Here, after general prayer, intercession of St Mary and the saints are asked and a special prayer for the sick, for the penitents, for the departed and for the relatives of the celebrant are offered. The names of the living and the dead to be remembered for the days qurbana must be submitted to the priest before the preparatory service of intercession. After this the priest places the Mysteries on the altar, and covers it with the spreaded shushafo.

The Censing:

Then follows incense intercessions, The priest places the incense in the censer with prayers and continues the intercessions for the living and the departed.

The Censer: In Old Testament times, perfume was made out of sweet spices ( Ex. 30:34-48). Sweet incense was burnt every morning at that time. (Ex. 30:7; Num 16:6) incense was an inevitable item in the temple. (Heb 9:4; Rev. 8:3-5). The general assumption is that as the smoke goes up, prayer also goes up with it to heaven. (Ps 141:2)

In the early century, during the persecution period, incense was used in the hiding caves for good smell around. All churches used incense for Eucharist and special services until 6th century.

The censer stands for the church. Another interpretation is that the censer is the blessed virgin mother, and the inside is the blessed divine child. The bottom part of the censer is interpreted as the world and the upper part as the heaven. The first chain stands for the father , second and third for the divine-human son, and the fourth for the Holy Spirit . The four chains together form the Trinitarian unity. The 72 links that make the chains show the 72 evangelists and the 12 bells stand for the 12 apostles. Then the charcoal stands for the sinful people and the fire stands for God. By the presence of God, the sinner is changed in to fire. Incense stands for good deeds.

The censer, which with the incense placed there in, is also symbolical of the gifts offered by the wise men to the infant Jesus…..gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The priest, after the incense intercessions, concludes this inaudible service that symbolizes the offering of Aaron and his sons mentioned in the written law (Lev. 8:16) with Trisagion, Lords prayer and the Nicene Creed.

Public Celebration

The public celebration of the Holy Communion Service begins by remembering both the birth and baptism of our Lord through which God manifested Himself to the world. The priest burns incense and censes the Table of Life. The veil is drawn. The bells are rung. The deacons (altar boys) representing the angels holding the sacramental fans representing the six – winged seraphim, proclaiming, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy” chant with the whole congregation. The priest goes around the altar censing.

The unveiling of the curtain at the beginning of the public celebration signifies the revelation of our Lord through incarnation. At this time sanctuary is the manger; altar is the lap of Mother St. Mary; servers are shepherds; and the congregation represents the whole world.

Another interpretation is that the altar is then the manger, the priest censes and kisses the corners of the altar going around in procession is the coming of the shepherds and the wise men; the deacon (altar server) going in front with a lighted candle is John the Baptist, the forerunner to our Lord; and the whole congregation singing the hymn represents the angels.

The Trisagion:

The Trisagion (Holy art thou O God!) that follows is addressed to our Lord , not to the Trinity.

The tradition is that at the time of the burial of our Lord in the newly erected sepulcher, angels and arch – angels descended from heaven and held the body of the Christ, our Lord one group after another, praising the Lord saying , “Holy art thou, o God ; Hole art thou O Almighty; holy art thou Immortal;” when Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, and all other followers witnessing the solemn scene , praised along with the angels, saying, “Crucified for us have mercy upon us.” This particular event is recorded and repeated at the very beginning of the holy communion service, and the whole congregation makes the sign of the cross when it recites the prayer. “Crucified for us have mercy upon us.”

Epistles and Gospel Reading:

Then follows the reading from the Epistles and Gospel where the teaching anf the healing ministry of our Lord is remembered. Reading from the Acts of the Apostles while standing on the right side (north) of the sanctuary, represents, the mission to the Jews and from the Pauline Epistles standing on the left side (south ) reminds us the mission to the gentiles. The hymn before the Pauline Epistle refers to the Galatians 1:8 ff.

Lectern (Reading Desk):

It is placed at the center to read the days lessons from the Word of Life, the Gospel. This means that the words and deeds of the Lord are continuing all the time, and the Lord is always with us. It also tells us that the Gospel is for all the Jews and the Gentiles alike.

The need for a believing attitude of the congregation is emphasized here in the words of the priest and the response of the congregation before the Gospel reading. The hymn that follows emphasizes the urgency for doing valiant work in the vine yard of the Lord as a result of listening to the Gospel. (Lk. 12:37).

Absolution and Prayers and the Blessing of the Censer :

After the Gospel reading is the special prayers of absolution for the living and the departed along with offering of incense. Then follows the blessing of the censer which is really the adoration of the Trinity.

The blessings of the censer stand for service. The altar the divine elements and the people who are present are here honored with the incense. The congregation accepts this by signing the cross and bowing the heads. We believe that as the incense from the censer is going upward, our petitions shall be well – pleasing to God like fragrant incense.

The Creed:

Then the Creed is said emphasizing the need for faith when we celebrate Holy Communion. The creed contains the following fundamental faith and doctrines of the Church:

Faith in one, true, Almighty God.
Faith in the Trinity Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Faith in the incarnation of our Lord : his birth, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, second coming and judgment;
Faith in the Holy Spirit.
Faith in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Faith in the absolution.
Faith in the baptism and all other sacraments.
Faith in the communion with and intercession of the saints.
Faith in the resurrection of the departed; and
Faith in the eternal life of the coming world.
(N.B.: As a matter of principle, a service or a prayer is incomplete without the recitation of the creed).

The deacon coming all the way down to the other side of the church censing the congregation at the time of the recital of the creed is an old custom to point out the end of the “service for the catechumens” thereby announcing for their departure , thus preparing the rest of the service entirely for the actual members of the church. Our Lord only selected just the twelve apostles to the Upper Chamber. Thus the whole congregation is being prepared for the sacrificial feast.

( This also reminds us of the coming down of our Lord from heaven to the Earth to save the human kind from the sin.)

Washing of Hands:

During this time , as a symbol of the washing of the feet of the disciples in the Upper room, the priest washes his hands as a final touch of cleansing before the days Holy Eucharist. After this , the priest turns towards the congregation and asks the people to pray for him to accept his oblation. Thereafter he kneels down and prays for him and for the congregation, living and the dead, especially for those whose names are given to be remembered.

Anaphora of the Faithful:

The service for the faithful begins hereafter. The priest ascends the altar-step, the stepping ladder to heaven (the sacrifice is being done in heaven where angels ascend and descend. ) and says special prayers, that follows the kiss of peace.

Kiss of Peace:

In the Holy Communion service, there are six special occasions when the priest turns to the congregation and wishes peace to the people by saying, “ Peace be to you all”. This ceremony corresponds to the sum and substance of the themes explained in verses Mt. 5:24, Jn. 13:34; 14:27; and 2 Cori. 3:12. The priest first kisses the altar and the chain of the censer. Then the deacon kisses the hand of the priest, the altar at both sides of the priest and passes the peace to everybody in the sanctuary and to the congregation with both hands. The whole congregation joins in this action of “Kiss of Peace” by passing one after another. Thus the peace that comes from God through the priest is distributed. The congregation in response to the announcement of the deacon bows down their heads to receive the blessings of God.

Celebration of the Shushafo:

The next ceremony is the celebration of the anaphora veil ( Shushafo). It signifies the revelation of the Lord as the son of God at the time of his public ministry. As the Holy Spirit descends upon our Lord, the same Holy Spirit comes down on the Holy Mysteries at this time when the priest lifts and waves the Shushafo over the holy mysteries.

The Apostolic Benediction ( 2 Corinthians. 13:14) that follows reminds the voice from heaven on the Mount of Transfiguration, and also at the river Jordan ( Mt. 3: 16-17)

Lifting up of Prayers:

When the priest lifts up his hands for prayers, he is offering the needs of the congregation and requesting for God’s grace to be handed down. Here he is also identifying himself with the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, where His hands were outstretched. Now the heaven is opened and is about time for our Lord to come down upon the Holy Mysteries when the priest asks the congregation to lift up their hearts to heaven. This reminds the occasion of the blessing of the bread by our Lord. (Mt. 14:19; Mk. 6:14; Luke. 9:16) We see our Lord on the right hand of the father when we raise up our eyes to heaven (Acts 7: 55 -56).

The waving of hands over the bread and the wine signifies the coming down of the Holy Spirit in the for of a dove.(Lk. 3:22). Thus the priest and the congregation along with the angels praise and worship the Lord at the same time.
