GOOD FRIDAY CUSTOM
ON GOOD FRIDAY, AS PART OF THE CHURCH SERVICES, A TOMB
OF CHRIST IS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE ALTER, CALLED
THE "EPITAPHIO."
Submitter comment:
THE TOMB IS ELEVATED ON A STAND. AT THE END OF
THE CHURCH SERVICES, CHILDREN PROCEED TO CRAWL UNDER
THE TOMB. THIS WILL BRING THOSE CHILDREN GOOD LUCK
FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
THIS IS A GREEK-AMERICAN CUSTOM.
