How does the church procession start and how does it end?
The procession starts in the sanctuary where the priest and deacons go around the altar 3 times. Then, they leave the sanctuary and go around the church 3 times.
The 1st and 2d processions go from left to right (North to South).
During the 3rd procession, the priest and the deacons go down the middle of the church, returning to the sanctuary.
There, they will have one last procession around the altar.
The deacon holding the icon stands in front of the altar (facing the congregation), while the priest offers incense.
