Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

2. Having crossed oneself one should plunge into the water thrice with the words “Bless, o Lord!” in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. When one leaves the bathhouse, he should cross oneself and say thrice: "Glory to Thee, our God!".
