Today it's the Orthodox Good Friday".

Today it is the Good Friday for the Orthodox christians.

It's these days that i really miss being in Greece, to celebrate the Easter at the Holy mount Athos!

The picture above is from that place during a visit there two years ago.

If you wonder why is the Easter celebrated sometimes the same day but most often during different days at the Orthodox and the Catholic churches check here (unfortunately everuthing is only in ... greek).

Some etymology about the name of the day can be found here.

Listen to the hymn of the day here!
