After the Liturgy, a triangular portion is cut from the prosphoron by the refectorian (monk in charge of the refectory). The "Panagia" is then cut in half and laid crust downwards on a dish in a small table in the refectory. After the meal, the refectorian takes off his epanokamelavkion and kamilavkion, saying, "Bless me, holy Fathers, and pardon me a sinner," to which the brotherhood replies, "May God pardon and have mercy on you." Then, taking the "Panagia" in his fingertips, he lifts it up while saying, "Great is the Name," and then the community continues with "of the Holy Trinity." The rite then continues with "All-holy Mother of God, help us" with the reply "At her prayers, O God, have mercy and save us." Two hymns are then sung while the refectorian, accompanied by a cleric with a hand censer, offers the "Panagia" to those assembled. Each takes a piece between his finger and thumb, passes it through the incense, and then eats it.
