St. Elias Church (Ukrainian Catholic--Eparchy of Toronto), Brampton, ON Canada.
The clergy come to the centre of the Church into the midst of the Faithful - bearing Incense and Light.
The Priest blesses the Entering of the Holy, praying:
"In the evening, in the morning, and at midday, we praise, bless, thank and entreat You, O Master of all things. Rescue us from all those who hunt after our souls, for our eyes are fixed on You, O Lord and on You do we count..."
All the Candles of the Temple are lit.
The Faithful sing that most ancient Hymn of Light, the "Phos 'Ilarion":
"Tranquil Light of the holy glory of the immortal, heavenly, holy, blessed Father, O Jesus Christ,
"as we come upon the sunset, as we see the evening light"
