JULI-SEPTEMVRI / JulY-SepTemBeR 2014 19 RelIgIouS eDuCATIoN believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who was born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, Who was crucified in the days of Pontius Pilate, And died and was buried And He rose the third day living from the dead And ascended into heaven, And sat down at the right hand of the Father, And will come to judge the living and the dead? And when he says: I believe, let him baptize the sec- ond time. And again let him say: Dost thou believe in the Holy Spirit in the Holy Church And the resurrection of the flesh? And he who is being baptized shall say: I believe. And so let him baptize him the third time. And afterwards when he comes up from the water, he shall be anointed by the pres- byter with the Oil of Thanksgiving saying: I anoint thee with holy oil in the Name of Jesus Christ. And so each one drying himself with a towel, they shall now put on their clothes, and after this let them be together in the assembly (Church). And the Bishop shall lay his hand upon them invok- ing and saying: O Lord God, who didst count these Thy servants wor- thy of deserving the forgiveness of sins by the laver of regener- ation, make them worthy to be filled with Thy Holy Spirit and send upon them Thy grace, that they may serve Thee according to Thy will, for to Thee is the glory, to the Father and to the Son with the Holy Ghost in the Holy Church, both now and ever and world without end. Amen. After this, pouring the consecrated oil from his hand and laying his hand on his head, he shall say: I anoint thee with holy oil in God the Father Almighty and Christ Jesus and the Holy Ghost. And sealing him on the forehead, he shall give him the kiss of peace and say: The Lord be with you. And he who has been sealed shall say: And with thy spirit. And so he shall do to each one severally. Thenceforward they shall pray together with all the people. But they shall not previ- ously pray with the faithful before they have undergone all these things. And after the prayers, let them give the kiss of peace. St Gregory the Wonderworker of Neocaesarea JULI-SEPTEMVRI / JulY-SepTemBeR 201419
