The Roman Missal: Holy Saturday (English) 14

1[If there be no font, the Priest puts off his chasuble, and prostrates before the altar. All others kneel; and the litanies are sung by two chanters in the middle of the choir, and the choir repeat every part after them. When they come to the words—Peccatores, te rogamus, the Priest and his attendants go into the sacristy, and put on white ornaments. Then the candles are lighted upon the altar; and at the end of the litanies the choir sing the Kyrie eleison, as at Mass.]
