Ceremony of Preparation of the Oblations or ProthesisThe Ceremony of Preparation of the Oblations or Prothesis is before the Divine Liturgy. During the Ceremony of Preparation of the Oblations or Prothesis, the priest cuts a tiny particle of the Qurban for each person who is being prayed for. First, the priest cuts a particle for each living person and then a particle for each dead person. The priest puts each of those tiny particles on the diskos (the dish holding the Holy Bread) immediately after cutting it. Great EntranceThe Great Entrance is during the Divine Liturgy. During the Great Entrance with the Holy Gifts of Bread and Wine during the Divine Liturgy, the priest carries the diskos. By this method, the prayers for the people are carried in the offering of the Gifts. After Holy CommunionAfter Holy Communion is during the Divine Liturgy. The priest wipes all of the particles of Holy Communion into the poterion (chalice) while saying, "Through the prayers of Your saints, wipe away the sins of all those remembered here."
