THE MATINS OF PASCHA THE PROCESSION
St. Innocent Orthodox Church Macon, Georgia Diocese of the South, Orthodox Church in America
2
The Priest censes around the altar three times while the clergy and male choir members who have gathered behind the altar quietly sing “Thy Resurrection.” Each time they chant a bit louder . The third the hymn is sung, the Royal Doors are opened. The full choir, now positioned in the center of the Church, joins in at “enable us on earth . . . “ to finish the hymn.
