Confession, Communion & Preparation
- 1Fast from food and drink from midnight before the liturgy if you intend to receive Holy Communion — fasting exemption applies to pregnant women, the ill, and young children.
- 2Attend evening vespers on the eve and go to confession to one of the hearing priests in the side chapels; confession queues are shortest on Wednesday and Friday evenings.
- 3Dress modestly: women — headscarf, long sleeves, long skirt (borrow free at the narthex); men — long trousers, shirt or modest casual top, no shorts, no hats inside.
- 4Approach the Holy Doors with arms crossed over your chest; after receiving Communion, drink blessed warm wine and water (antidoron) at the side table and do not leave the church before the final blessing.
