Le '''Jeudi Saint''' débute avec la célébration des Vêpres et de la [[Liturgie]] de Saint Basile. Ce jour-ci, un Agneau eucharistique de plus est consacré, en rappelant la présence du Christ sur terre lors de la [[Dernière Cène]] ; il servira par la suite à la communion des malades au cours de l’année. Le soir, en anticipation des Matines du Vendredi Saint, le service de la Passion du Christ est célébré, avec la lecture des '''Douze Évangiles'''. Ces lectures nous rappellent les dernières instructions du Christ à Ses disciples, ainsi que la prophétie du drame de la Croix, la prière du Christ et son nouveau commandement.

===Holy Friday===
'''Great and Holy Friday''' begins with reading of the [[Royal Hours]] leading up to Vespers of Friday afternoon, at which time the removal of the Body of Christ from the Cross is commemorated. The [[priest]] removes the Body of Christ, the [[Epitaphios]], from the Cross, wraps it in a white cloth and carries it into the [[altar]]. In an evening service, called the Lamentations at the Tomb, the priest carries the Epitaphios, the painted or embroidered cloth representation of Christ, from the altar around the [[church]] before placing it in the Sepulcher, a bier symbolizing the Tomb of Christ. This procession, with the faithful carrying lighted candles, represents Christ's descent into Hades.
