  • can anyone explain what the tomb of jesus is and what it is made of?

  • The tomb of Jesus, is the wooden structure you see covered in flowers. It is called the kouvouklion and inside this is housed the shroud with Jesus's body upon it. This is the Eastern Orthodox representation of the burial of Jesus' body after his crucifixion ! . . . . the spreading of the flowers represent the victory of Christ over death and the resurrection of the dead to follow :)

  • Pews are forbidden in Holy Orthodoxy! and Women have to cover their hair and men and women should be seperated.

    This is a very modernised parish!

  • @acordplyr actually the Typikon of the the Patriarchate in Constantinople makes clear that the vestments of the priest should be either golden, blue or red because of the win of Jesus against death.

  • I love the Greek Orthodox Church and it's traditions!

  • this is easy , convert to orthodox my brother

  • Because of the "Harmolypi" who is mean sadness and happyness in the same time,sadness for the death of Christ and happyness for the Ressurection!In the orthodox church the vestments of the priest during the night of the Holy and Great Friday is in the colors of the declining sun!

  • Okay, Thanks!

  • Man, i wish my church did this.

  • not only that. but lighter colors represents the hope of the resurrection. Which happens just the night after this service. so it represents pascha (easter)

  • According the eastern ancient tradition the night of Good Friday in which the Service of the Burial (holy Saturday matins) is taking place the priests must wear golden color paraments. In other places use purple-mauve of black paraments following the western tradition.

  • Nice video. Can anyone tell me why the priests aren't wearing dark vestments, though?

  • not all orthodox tombs look like this one though.

  • it was in another similar video with maria farantouri,s voice ...i sent it to you last night
