Great and Holy Friday

"The Passion of the Lord" is the subject of this message-board posting temporarily available. Approach it prayerfully, meditatively, if you will.

The hymn being chanted (after you press Play) is the classic patristic and Orthodox approach to the Crucifixion: it keeps the Lord's Glory in focus throughout, and especially in its conclusion, "Show us also Thy glorious Resurrection!"

PS: Today and tomorrow there are several different services each day and evening. You might catch one in progress LIVE at any time if you go here. Around midnight Saturday night is the main Pascha (Easter) Liturgy, the centerpoint of the Orthodox year.
