I have a question about the Sign of the Cross the priest makes with the chalices, at the end of the Great Entrance. When this is done, should the people in the congregation 1) make the Sign of the Cross 2) bow 3) both? Any of them? None?  Thank you for any help.  |

What to do when the deacon blesses with diskos, the priest - with chalice, and rest of the priests - with crosses?

Ignore the Deacon and the other priest because they should not be blessing. |

Yes, but here is an exception: At the dismissal, you may make the sign of the Cross.

Is is he blessing you with something worthy of veneration? Then cross and bow. |

I was taught that this is a rule unless there is a moment when the Eucharist is transformed back to the sacrifice table. On the other hand our Greeks say otherwise. |

This is a good place to start. But when in Rome . . . http://www.stmaryofegypt.org/devotion/howoneshouldpray.htmThis is sensible and coherent. Reduce as needed to how your parish behaves and the Priest would wish the parish to be. |

That is because the Greeks lack the stern ritual purity of the Slavs. Or perhaps...just perhaps...certain external ritual formulations developed and/or evolved independently of each other during the centuries following the decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire due to distance and lack of contact, thus accounting for differences within the Orthodox world ?  |

I'm more used to a more reserved congregation rather than the ones that do so many half prostrations in front of an icon they look like they are getting ready to take a dive in the olympics. |

While we're off topic, I'm not sure I like the Catholic tradition in some Slavic circles of blessing every object that is to be used remotely for a religious purpose.
Examples;
Cars
prayer ropes
prayer cards
books
etc....

However I have seen very beautiful embroidery on Russian one's. The problem with Russian one's is that they need to be made to fit the Priest - if they are too big or small it is very obvious.
