THE FIRST PART OF THE LITANY

18. When the Collect after the fourth Lesson is finished, all kneel. The Litany of the Saints is sung without doubling the invocations, until Propftius esto exclusive.
The Litany is sung by two cantors kneeling in the middle of the sanctuary ; the celebrant kneeling in his place. If there are no cantors, it is sung or said by the celebrant himself, kneeling with the servers on the lowest step of the altar towards the Epistle side.
Meanwhile a vessel of baptismal water to be blessed, with everything else needed for the blessing, is prepared in the sanctuary, on the Epistle side, where the people can see it.
