With the celebration of the Holy Sequence, the chilling atmosphere of the Holy Week in the churches across the country culminated tonight. A large number of believers, per parish, came to honor the burial of the Lord, while he sang the praise in front of Christ’s ornamented Epitaph.

Then came the Epitaph, which begins late in the afternoon after 20:00, but the exact time differs from parish to parish, with some churches starting the tour from 18:30 – 19:00. During the tour of the streets of each parish they sang the Epitaph lament, that is, the Orthodox of the Great Saturday, and the feast of Our Lady was heard “Oh my sweetheart, my sweet child, where do you have the beauty?”

At the Cathedral of Athens, danced by the Archbishop of Athens and all Greece Hieronymus, the sequence of the Epitaph Lament was held. The bishops of Androussis Constantios and Tanagra Apostolos co -ordinated. Representatives of the State, the Armed Forces, the Security Forces, the Red Cross, the Holy Clergy and a multitude of believers, in a climate of respect, reverence and emotion, attended.

Immediately after the sequence, the Epitaph was performed on the streets around the cathedral, with the Christian crowd following the procession. The bells sounded mournful, while the army’s appearance was priced.

During the tour the praise of three stops, one of which took place in front of the House and the monument of the Unknown Soldier, where a bond was held in favor of the fallen of the nation.

From Syntagma Square, the Priest of the Greek Church emphasized: “Our pious lords, the Lord of the Lord, in this devastating atmosphere, before so many people who are religious, who love our Church and our homeland, We especially need the weather or these days. Wherever we turn our eyes, our thinking, our calculus, we always turn to ourselves thoughtful, “What will we find tomorrow? Tomorrow where are we going? ‘What does everything we read and see in our neighborhoods mean? ” We are worried. So let us wish today, in this religious atmosphere, in the devastating atmosphere, God enlighten us all, each separately, especially our lords, the leaders, those who can, try and fight for something better. The evening tonight and the atmosphere and everything we lived through in the church give us courage, they give us strength, because we have spent difficult times and we did it and proceeded. And now to beg us all through our hearts, lords and people, young and old, Lord, help us, we need it. “

In addition, he wished “Happy Easter, good power, good coincidence” and urged “from now on and in front of, as we have done before, and in the past, to join wherever everyone is. Above all is our homeland and our place. “
