In the morning, churches commemorate the Washing of the Feet, the Last Supper, Christ’s prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and His betrayal by Judas Iscariot.
This evening, the Service of the Passion will be chanted.
Through hymns and the reading of the Twelve Gospels, the events of the Divine Passion unfold.
Christ is crucified for the salvation of humanity. As the hymn declares: “Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon the cross.”
