It is a tradition in Orthodox parishes to give flowers to the priests to carry during the procession.

In the Orthodox tradition the procession circles the church counter-clockwise three times.  On the third circuit the procession stops four times — on the south side, at the apse, on the north side and at the entrance — for gospel readings and blessing of the church and parishioners with water.
