Great and Holy Friday observed 4/25/08
The activities around Great Friday began with the service of the Royal Hours. The parishoners of our church prepared the tomb of Christ and decorated it with fresh flowers. In the evening, Royal Hours are continued with Holy Vespers that mourn Christ, excerpts from the Old Testament are read. Afterwards the Epitaphios was taken out of our church for the circling around the church three times and at the end was burial with Lamentation. Our parishoners with sadness on their faces because of the sufferings of Christ, approached to venerate the Epitaphios of Christ.
