Today is Good Friday

10.04.2026 / 10:00

Today is Good Friday. This day commemorates the crucifixion, deposition and burial of Jesus Christ.

Good Friday is the gravest day of Great Lent. Because the sacrifice of Jesus through his crucifixion is recalled on this day, the divine liturgy is never celebrated on Great Friday, the Royal Hours are performed, during which the Gospel about the Lord's Passion is read.

The Good Friday evening service is dedicated to the Deposition of Christ and is usually celebrated at 2:00 p.m., because according to biblical literature, Jesus Christ died on the cross at this very time.

Good Friday is the heaviest day of fasting throughout the year.
