Today is Good Friday, which marks the sixth day of creation, when God created Adam from dust in His own image and likeness, and then created Eve from his side and placed them in Paradise. On Friday, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, stripped themselves of glory, and the Lord punished man with a curse and expelled him from paradise. In the sixth period, God S. In the immaculate womb of a virgin, he became a perfect Man, in soul, mind and body, to perform the tasks of administration.
On Good Friday, the Lord was arrested by the betrayal of Judas, beaten and mocked, and then, taking upon Himself the curse and condemnation of Adam, dying on the cross, He opened His side, and washed away the sins of man with the water from His side, and with His blood, He redeemed us from the service of evil (Matt. 26:47-27:56). And as his wife, Eve, was created from Adam’s side, so His bride, the Church, was created from the Lord’s side. Although today is joy for the souls, because by Christ’s sufferings our souls were freed from hell, but physically there is mourning and sadness.
Good Friday is the commemoration day of Jesus Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, death and burial. On that day, the Order of the Crucifixion takes place. After the evening service, during the pre-holiday ceremony, the burial ceremony is performed, when the symbolic tomb of Jesus Christ, made of flowers and tree branches, is circled around the church in front of the faithful people.
