2025-04-18 LIVE Good Friday Greek Orthodox Graveside Lamentations from Saint Mark in Boca Raton, FL

Описание: High-definition (HD) livestream and broadcast of the Greek Orthodox Graveside Lamentations from Saint Mark in Boca Raton, Florida, with Live Chat. Watch the Procession of the Epitaphios (Επιτάφιος), a richly embroidered cloth icon depicting the body of Christ prepared for burial, as it is carried in a Kouvouklion (κουβούκλιον) outside and around the church.

Greek Orthodox Graveside Lamentation at the Tomb on Good Friday, the Epitaphios, mourns Jesus' death. The flower-adorned icon of Christ (Epitaphios) is placed in the Kouvouklion and is carried in a procession around the Church, reflecting on Jesus Christ's sacrifice and humanity's salvation.

The Hymns of Lamentation are sung, and the Myrrh-bearing women throw rose petals into the Kouvouklion on top of the Epitafio, symbolizing the anointing of the Body of Jesus.

When the Kouvouklion and Epitafio arrive back at the front of the Church, the Kouvouklion is raised, and the parishioners walk underneath the Epitafio, symbolizing their entering into death and the resurrection of Christ. This solemn remembrance precedes Easter hope.

The Eastern Orthodox service is conducted mainly using English and Greek and streamed LIVE from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.
