| | Subdeacon |
 | | In the Greek Church, subdeacons prepare the chalice at the prothesis and guard the gates of the sanctuary during the Holy Sacrifice. | | | That there were subdeacons in the African Church in the same century is evident from the letters of St. Cyprian (e.g. | | | In the ancient Roman Church, the subdeacons administered in great part the temporal goods of the Holy See and were often employed on important missions by the popes. |

| | But not till the fourteenth century was the subdeacon's peculiar office of reading the Epistle expressed and acknowledged by his symbolic reception of the book of Epistles at his ordination. | | | The privileges of the deacon to sing the Gospel and (in the West) of the subdeacon to read the Epistle are a later development (see GOSPELS IN THE LITURGY). | | | Palm Sunday, in the missa sicca in which the palms are blessed, has a lesson from Exodus, xv and xiv, sung by the subdeacon as if it were an Epistle, as well as a Gospel. |

| | The subdeacon returns to his place and kneels, while the deacon kneels there at the celebrant's right, while the priest bows low and recites the prayer for peace. | | | The subdeacon then goes to the Gospel side of the altar, meeting in the middle the deacon, who carries the Missal from the Gospel side back to the Epistle side. | | | The subdeacon, now at the priest's left slides the corporal with paten and chalice atop it over to his side, where he dries the chalice, folds everything up, and covers the chalice and paten with a chalice veil given him by a server. |

| | What is a "sub-deacon"? - The Byzantine Forum |
| | The subdeacons accompany the bishop as he approached the vestibule of the temple where they clothe him in the mandyas. | | | While the protodeacon sings the vesting prayers, the subdeacons vest the bishop. | | | Subdeacons presentthe Bishop's Candlesticks for blessings, assist the Bishop up and down stairs, and generally do The Bidding of the Bishop during the Hierarchal Liturgy. |

| | At this point the subdeacon stands in the middle, on the lowest step, or else, in the Roman working, over on the Epistle side, waiting for the candle-bearers to come and form the procession with the book of the Gospels. | | | This is the more negative or feminine side, and it was at one time the custom for the women in the church to sit on the subdeacon's side, and the men on the deacon's side. | | | Another factor which makes a good deal of difference in the form is the intelligent co-operation of the Priest. |

| | During the transition to the Gospel, the subdeacon takes the Missal and its stand from the right side of the altar (the Epistle side), descends the altar steps and genuflects in the center, then goes up and puts the Missal catty-cornered at the left side of the altar (logically called the Gospel side). | | | After the Epistle, the kneeling subdeacon receives a blessing from the priest. | | | The three ascend the altar (subdeacon on the left, deacon on the right), and the celebrant intones "Glory to God in the highest." The choir takes up the chant, and the three ministers quietly read the Gloria from the center altar card. |

| | The subdeacon is now usually a layperson, probably a licensed layreader and chalice bearer who reads the epistle, carries and holds the Gospel Book, leads the intercessory prayers, and/or assists the priest or deacon in the setting of the "Eucharistic Table". | | | In the early days of the Catholic and Anglican Church, the subdeacon was an ordained office (like the deacon), but that is no longer true. | | | Occasionally, the title Subdeacon is given to a Lay Reader or Licensed Eucharistic Minister in a church to indicate that he or she is the "head" Lay Reader or Licensed Eucharistic Minister. |
