HOLY FRIDAY 2026 (LIVE FROM ATHENS): LAMENTS AND EPITAPHIOS
Holy Friday is the most somber and solemn day of the year on the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar. All day Church bells are chiming at intervals signifying deep mourning. We are waiting for tonight's liturgy, involving the unnailing of the body of Christ from the cross, lamentations and the epitaphios, the preparation of the body on a bier which will be the center of a mournful procession.
