Armenian Rite
Liturgical Language: Armenian
[Priest] Taking the bread into his holy, divine, spotless, creative
hands, he blessed + it, gave thanks, broke
it, and gave it to his chosen, holy disciples, sitting with him at the table and
said:
Take and eat; this is my Body, which is delivered for you and for many in
expiation, unto the forgiveness of sins.
[Server] Amen.
[Priest] In the same way, he took the chalice, blessed +
it, gave thanks, drank from it, and gave it to his chosen holy disciples,
sitting with him at the table and said:
Drink from this, all of you; this is my Blood of the New Testament, which
is shed for you and for many in expiation, unto the forgiveness of sins.
[Server] Amen.
