Der Subdiakon braucht es nicht zu sein.
The sub-deacon need not be in holy orders.
Besonders beeindruckend fand er die große Besetzung um den Altar herum — Priester, Diakon, Subdiakon, Weihrauchschwinger, zwei Meßgehilfen und vier Fackelträger und — gleichsam als Dirigent des Ganzen — ein jüngerer, melancholisch dreinblickender Zeremonienmeister, der die Hände in einer Pose ständigen Gebets vorgestreckt hatte.
What amazed him more than anything was the number of the cast assembled around the altar, each purposefully pursuing his part: the celebrant, the deacon, the sub-deacon, the incense-swinger and the boat-boy, the two acolytes and the four torch-bearers, and conducting them all a youngish, mournful-faced master of ceremonies, his hands sticking out horizontally before him in a posture of perpetual prayer.
