SUMMARY:Holy Friday Great (Royal) Hours
DESCRIPTION:The Eucharist is not celebrated on Holy Friday\, as Christ said: “When the Bridegroom has gone\, then they will fast.” It is traditional to eat and drink nothing on this day. At the Royal Hours\, we listen to selections from the Passion Gospels\, together with reflective psalmody and hymns.

SUMMARY:Holy Friday Vespers
DESCRIPTION:Also known as the “Un-nailing Service.” In this most dramatic service\, we commemorate the burial of Christ. The icon of the Lord is removed from the Cross\, wrapped in a shroud\, and symbolically entombed on the altar. The epitaphios or plaschanitsa\, a special icon representing the tomb of Christ\, is carried out and venerated by the faithful.

SUMMARY:Holy Saturday Matins
DESCRIPTION:Also known as the “Lamentations Service\,” we join the Mother of God at the tomb as she weeps for her Son. Christ’s body\, symbolically in the form of the epitaphios or plaschanitsa\, is carried around the church in solemn procession. This is the Lord’s funeral service. Yet even in this dark hour\, we see the first signs of hope as we begin to sing hymns of the Resurrection.
