1 Junior High - Sample Questions How to Benefit from the Holy Liturgy - Bishop Mettaous (Last Updated on 7/12/2017) Notes: It should be noted that these are sample questions only.

After the raising of incense, the congregation says the Orthodox Creed, chanting the last sentence, "And we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come, Amen." Meanwhile, the priest holds the cross together with three lit candles in his right hand. What does this signify? (pg 28) 29. The priest makes the sign of the cross on the congregation on all sides, three times inaudibly, then says the prayer of God have mercy upon us, making the sign of the cross in all four directions with the cross

During the offertory, the congregation chants Lord have mercy 41 times, fervently until the celebrant priest chooses the Lamb. Why is this done and what does the congregation ask for? (pg 79) 72. After completing the Choice of the LAMB the priest baptises the LAMB with some water. What does it symbolize? (pg 79) 73.
