Orthodox observe Good Friday

30 апреля 2021

Today is the most mournful and dramatic day in the Orthodox calendar. Good Friday is the time of the condemnation and public crucifixion of Christ on Golgotha. The faithful remember the suffering of the Savior. In almost two thousand churches throughout the country a special canon is sung during the day. According to the rules of the Lent, on this day it is recommended to limit yourself in food, and devote time to prayer instead of entertainment. It is possible to see and feel the way of Christ to Golgotha through sacral symbols in the National Art Museum. This is a special project dedicated to the crucifixion.

The Orthodox confession in Belarus is getting ready for Easter. The divine services will begin on Saturday.
