When preparing for [[Eucharist|Communion]], the deacon will tie the orarion around his waist, bringing the ends up over his shoulders (forming an X-shaped cross in back) and then down in front, tucking them under the section around the waist.
The [[subdeacon]] also wears the orarion, but always wrapped around his body in the manner described above. In some traditions, [[acolyte]]s may sometimes be blessed to wear the orarion, though in a manner similar to that of a subdeacon, though and usually with both ends pointing hanging straight down in front, rather than crossed in the X-shape.
