Holy Week:Holy Friday
Holy Friday is the most solemn and sad day for
Christians. The Crucifixion
service, usually held at midday, recalls the suffering, crucifixion
and death of our Lord. The memorial service features readings of the
psalms.
In the evening, at the entombment or burial service, a white tomb is placed in the chancel of the church. It is adorned with flowers and during the service is taken in procession around the church. The hymn is heard:
"The Son of Righteousness, Christ, was placed in a dark pit, and the ray of glory from the Father was hidden under a stone in the midst of the earth."
As they leave the church, the faithful approach the tomb, kiss the Gospel book and take a flower.
