The Order of Zuyoho - "Elevation" of the Cross

The Order of Zuyoho http://sor.cua.edu/Feast/Zuyoxo.html

It is difficult to provide an English equivalent to the Syriac word Zuyoho. It is derived from a verb which means "to put in motion", "to move something", "to lift up something". The Order of Zuyoho embodies all of these meanings. During the ceremony, the celebrant lifts and moves the object on which Zuyoho is performed, usually a cross (but water on Epiphany, Palms on Palm Sunday, etc.). Hence, we refer to the Zuyoho of the Cross, or the Zuyoho of the Palms, etc. In the following, the celebrant carries a cross. The Celebrant enters the sanctuary in the company of the clergy and the deacons. He holds the cross high and waves it in the four directions. Zuyoho Turning to the East, the celebrant chants: Priest: He Whom the angels minister. People: Holy are You, O God. Priest: He Whom the cherubim bless. People: Holy are You, O Almighty. Priest: He Whom the seraphim sanctify. People: Holy are You, O Immortal. The sinners entreat with repentance saying "You Who were crucified for us, have mercy upon us." Note: When the people chant the word "crucified", shown in italics above, the celebrant moves the cross in the form of a cross blessing the people. This word is replaced by another phrase in some feast days (e.g., "baptized" in Epiphany). The celebrant turns to the West: Priest: He Whom the fiery hosts praise. People: Holy are You, O God. Priest: He Whom the spiritual beings magnify. People: Holy are You, O Almighty. Priest: He Whom the mortals worship. People: Holy are You, O Immortal. The children of the faithful Church entreat saying "You Who were crucified for us, have mercy upon us." The celebrant turns to the North: Priest: He Whom the heavenly beings glorify. People: Holy are You, O God. Priest: He Whom those between [heaven and earth] exalt. People: Holy are You, O Almighty. Priest: He Whom the earthly beings below bow to. People: Holy are You, O Immortal. The sinners entreat with repentance saying "You Who were crucified for us, have mercy upon us." The celebrant turns to the South: Priest: Our Lord, have mercy upon us. People: Our Lord, have mercy and compassion upon us. Priest: Our Lord, accept our services and our prayers, and have mercy upon us. People: Glory to You, O God. Priest: Glory to You, O Creator. People: Glory to You, O Christ the King, Who has pity on His sinful servants. Amin. Source: Ma'de'dono: The Book of the Church Festivals (1984).
