"Weep not for me, O Mother, seeing in the tomb the son, conceived without seed in the womb, for I shall arise and be glorified as God!"The ancient Christian funeral rite for Christ on Holy Friday begins with the 3 PM service of the taking down from Cross, laying Christ on the funeral bier. A psalm reading vigil continues until the 5:30 PM service of Lamentations in which we carry the bier in procession around the church with mournful lamentation hymns that beautifully look forward to the Resurrection.
