During the blessing of the Orbana, the wine, and the water, what does Abouna do, and what does it symbolize?
Abouna blesses the Orbana, the wine, and the water three times saying In the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God
1- Blessed be God the Father, the Pantocrator, and he puts his finger on the top hole in the Orbana,
The deacons reply Amen
2- Blessed be His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, and he puts his finger on the bottom hold in the Orbana,
The deacons reply Amen
3- Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, and he puts his finger on the middle hole in the Orbana,
The deacons reply Amen, one is the Holy Father.....
It symbolizes the Holy Trinity during the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father is up in Heave, the Son, is down in the water, and the Holy Spirit is in the middle as a dove flying.
After Abouna chooses the Lamb, why does he wrap the Orbana with linen like a swaddle?

Same as the Orbana is swaddles inside the Manger, and puts the star on top of it as symbol for our Lord Jesus Christ inside the Manger
