Bishop Tikhon blesses the faithful with the Dikiri and Trikiri (two and three candle candlesticks) at the Little Entrance during the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy. All the clergy proceed to the Sanctuary, the Bishop censes the Altar, Sanctuary, Iconostasis, clergy and people, while the choir sings "Eis pola eti Despota!" ("Many years to our Master!")
