Do You Renounce Satan? (Catechumen Prayers) No. 1 | Orthodox Christian Hoodie / Hooded Sweatshirt

Priest: Do you renounce Satan, and all his works, and all his worship, and all his angels, and all his pomp?

Each time the Catechumen (or the Sponsor if the person to be baptized is a child or a foreigner) answers and says:

Catechumen: I do renounce him.

Again the Priest asks him (her) that is to be baptized (3x):

Priest: Have you renounced Satan?

And the Catechumen or the Sponsor answers (3x):

Catechumen: I have renounced him.

After the third time, the Priest says:

Priest: Then blow and spit upon him.

And this being done, the Priest turns the Catechumen to the East with lowered hands, and repeats the following three times:

Priest: Do you join Christ?

The question is answered three times:

Catechumen: I do join Him.

Again the Priest asks three times:

Priest: Have you joined Christ?

Catechumen: I have joined Him.

Again the Priest asks:

Priest: And do you believe in Him?

Catechumen: I believe in Him as King and as God.

After the completion of the Creed, the Priest asks thrice:

Priest: Have you joined Christ?

Catechumen: I have joined Him.

Priest: Then bow before Him and worship Him.
