  • The Litiy or Litiyá is a procession, followed by intercessions, which takes place during the All-Night Vigil in the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite. Whenever there is a Litiy there is also an Artoklassia ("breaking of bread"). Either of these terms may be used to describe both liturgical actions collectively. The procession and the artoklassia are two segments that are added to the service on Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church and on important feast days. In some monasteries and parish churches it is customary to serve an All-Night Vigil with Litiy every Saturday night. Before the service begins, a tetrapod (table), covered with a cloth of linen or brocaid is prepared. On the table is set a tray with five leavened loaves of bread, known as artoklassia loaves (see Artos for details). Also placed on the table is a dish containing wheat kernals, a vessel of pure olive oil, and a vessel of red wine. All of these will be blessed at the end of Vespers.
