Hello everyone,

I have two questions to ask about the rite of the second day of the Feast of the Cross (18th Toot):

(1) Do we do the Feast of the Cross procession (with the 12 Gospels) during the Matin Raising of Incense prayer?

(2) Do we say "Je av-ashk" (for You were crucified) on the 18th Toot, even though it is a Sunday?

Your thoughts on this topic would be appreciated.

The Procession is only on the first day of the Feast and we say Je av-ashk ak everyday during the feast regardless of when it falls.

Thanks, jydeacon. I had a feeling the procession was on the feast day only (17th Toot but not the 18th or 19th), but I wasn't so sure about the "av-ashk" bit.

Does anyone else have any other opinion?
