Grind Friday is Diary
Today is a goodbye Friday – the day on which the Son of God Jesus Christ is crucified to become a redemptive sacrifice for the sins of humanity. On Holy Friday, Jesus is buried in a stone sarcophagus in a cave, in front of which a huge stone is placed, and the entrance is guarded by security.
On this day, his firing is performed in the temples. On the morning service, twelve excerpts from the Gospel are read, which tell of the passions (from Church Slavonic – the suffering) of Jesus Christ.
| On Holy Friday, when the Savior dies, the Holy Liturgy is not served during the day. |
The Small of Christ is exported, in which his body was wrapped after removing from the waist. Before the start of the service in the middle of the temple, the « Hristov » tomb, decorated with flowers, is erected, and on the throne is placed the shroud – a piece of fabric, which is embroidered the image of the positions in the tomb of the Savior. The chants are dedicated to the suffering and death of Christ.
Nowadays, the shroud is usually placed on a table and Orthodox Christians go under it. For the church ritual, this action has the value of a bow in front of the tomb of the Lord, and for the folk tradition – of hope for health.
In the evening, the Opel of Christ takes place, on which his death is emphasized.
