Το απόγευμα της Μεγάλης Τετάρτης,τελέσθηκε στον Ιερό Μητροπολιτικό Ναό της Μεγάλης Παναγιάς το Μυστήριο του Μεγάλου Ευχελαίου.
Κατά τη διάρκεια της τέλεσής του Μεγάλου Ευχελαίου,ο Πρωτοπρεσβύτερος Πέτρος Μαραγκός διάβασε επτά Ευαγγέλια και επτά Ευχές. The oil was thus blessed with….. which "crucified" the believers on the forehead, στο πηγούνι, στα μάγουλα και στις παλάμες.
In the evening, the Niptiros ceremony took place, which is also the Orthros of Maundy Thursday which refers to the Last Supper and the Kontakion is sung "when the glorious disciples".
The crowning event is the wash basin ceremony. “Humiliated by’ mercy, feet you dreamed of your students, and towards a road theios these direction”.
It is about capturing the image of Jesus, who though he rules earth and heaven, washes His disciples' feet before supper. At that time it was customary for the host's servants to wash the guests' feet, before they sit down at the table to eat, when it came to a formal dinner. But here the Lord takes over this ministry, explaining to them that: “the elder among you is born as the younger and the abbot as the deacon”.
