Let us all be cognizant of Good Friday and it’s significance this Easter weekend. This is the most important event in human history. Love The Lord with all of your heart and may The Lord bless you and may you be a blessing to the world. As the sun rises this Sunday, remember…so did His Son.

Thanks for this!
Here is a byzantine hymn, which is sung as the shroud with the icon of the crucified Christ laid to rest during the Good Friday service:
A translation of the lyrics:
The noble Joseph, taking down thy most pure Body from the Tree,
wrapped it in clean linen and sweet spices and laid it in a new tomb.
But on the third day thou didst rise, O Lord, granting the world great mercy.
The cross and the resurrection are two sides of the same event.
