Good Friday symbolizes the events of Jesus' trial by Pontius Pilate ,His martyrdom towards Calvary, his Crucifixion and finally his Burial.
The ceremony of Demobilization, it is done in our churches, at noon on Good Friday along with the reenactment of the burial. In the evening, the procession of the Epitaphion takes place.
Church bells ring mournfully throughout the day. Due to the mourning of the day, housewives do not engage in housework, even avoiding cooking.
With flowers they pick or buy, women and children go to the churches to decorate the Epitaph.
The fast of the day is very strict and forbids even oil. Many believers are used to drinking some vinegar on Good Friday, in memory of what they gave to Jesus, when He asked for water in the last moments of His earthly life. Custom forbids any work on this day.
instead, on this day it is customary for believers to visit the graves of dead relatives and friends. Expecting, along with tomorrow's Resurrection of the Lord - and theirs.
today everyone is sad and the mountains are sad,
today angels archangels all wear black.
Today, the lawless Jews held a meeting,
the lawless and the dogs, the broken ones,
to seize the Redeemer and to crucify Him.
The Lord willed to enter an orchard,
to receive dinner in secret, for all to receive him.
And after the Lord had finished the dinner,
His holy hand began to bless him.
– One of the disciples is to betray me,
into the hands of the Jews to deliver Me.
One looked at the other, one says the other:
– Is it me, teacher, who will betray You?;
into the hands of the Jews to deliver Thee;
And Panagia and Despina were sitting on Her throne
she made her prayer for her Only Begotten.
Her voice came from heaven and from the Archangel's mouth:
– My Lady, prayers save, they also save penances,
and they caught Your Son and are taking Him to the prison,
and to Pilate the courtyard, there they oppress Him.
– Copper coppers make nails, make three pitchforks.
And that outlaw, weighs and makes five.
-Thank you for making it, you have to teach us.
-Put two in His hands, and the other two on the legs.
The fifth is medicinal, put it in His heart,
to run blood and water, from His sustenances.
And Panagia seemed to hear it, fell and dwindled.
They poured a pitcher of water on her ,three jugs of musk,
and three with rhododendron, to clear Her account!
And after she came to her mind and after she came to her mind
He asks for a knife to slaughter fire to go down,
he is asking for a cliff to be torn down ,for Her Only Begotten.
-Be patient my lady, take a breath my lady.
-And how to get patience, and how to catch my breath;
that I have a son Monogenes and Keinos crossed.
Martha and Magdalene and the mother of Lazarus,
and Jacob's sister, and the four adamas,
they caught the army- army, soldier the path,
and their fate opened the door to the robber.
-Open the door of the robber and the door of Pilate.
And the door from her fear, opens alone.
To the right, gerbil monster, no one knows.
Tira and further to the right, sees Saint John.
– My Saint John, the Forerunner and Baptist of my son,
did you not see Him my son and in Your teacher;
– I have no language to tell you, lips to talk to you.
I have no palm to show you.
You see Him naked and afflicted,
where he wears a shirt soaked in blood;
You see Him naked and hairless
Where he wears on his head a crown of thorns;
He is your son, and with my teacher.
And Panagia seemed to hear it, this is what he says:
– Pune pregnos to fall down, I'm about to go and fall.
And Panagia approached, sweetly asked Him:
– You're not talking to me, baby, you are not talking to me my child.
No one spoke to comfort her.
Only Christ spoke to her from the Cross.
– If you fall down Kera, the whole world is falling apart
My mother, be patient with the whole world.
Go, mother, go, you don't have much else.
Take Saint John son, with You to have him.
– Who has an only-begotten son and takes a foreign birth;
– Go, mother, go, you don't have much else.
Only on Holy Saturday sit and answer me.
May the rooster crow, the bells ring,
means Thios, means earth, they mean the heavens,
Agia Sophia also means the Great Monastery,
with golden signs and golden bells.
Then you too, my mother, have great joy.
Whoever hears it is saved, and whoever says it is sanctified,
and whoever qualifies it, Heaven will receive,
Paradise and incense from the Holy Sepulcher.
