    no. The only time this happends is in Kiahk Praises nights, more specificly sunday nights on the 6th interpretation where it says "You are Aaron's censor..."
    The source would be the Kiahk Psalmody but i wouldn't have one on me right now so i'll post the refrence latter.


    Finally, during the liturgy when go around the alter holding the gospel and and the cross, what are the prayers that you are supposed to say as you are going around. 

    the three Short Litanies: Peace, Fathers and Place. These are like the 3 Long lities but a shorter version.

    your source, any full liturgy book.

    Matthew
  • What are the psalms that you recite and if anyone else has any other information on this that would be great.
