During a hierarchical [[Divine Liturgy]], the dikirion and trikirion are kept respectively on the northeast and southeast corners of the [[altar]] or on stands placed next to these corners. When they are needed by the bishop, they are carried to him by [[subdeacon]]s, who may also carry them during the [[incense|censing]] by the [[deacon]] or during the [[Great Entrance]].
