Preparations for the Epitaphios before the Taking Down from the Cross. We went to the market and bought the flowers, and here the young women of our Diocese decorate it with love and care. We watch with compunction, praying together with the priests and the devout people who have come.
From the moment I arrived, I felt a great and special emotion when I saw on the iconostasis the icon of our Christ, painted by the Holy Monastery of Chrysopigi in Chania; it was as if Christ Himself was waiting for me.
