Holy and Great Friday

On Holy and Great Friday, the epitaphios is brought into the centre of the church. This example was embroidered in Constantinople in 1842.

Kαὶ σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος, ἐταπείνωσεν ἑαυτὸν, γενόμενος ὑπήκοος μέχρι θανάτου, θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:8)
