Easter in Greece

On Holy Friday in the morning mass the priest takes the "body of the Christ" down from the cross and puts it in his tomb. Epitaphios is a wooden structure every church has and it is supposed to be the tomb of Christ. On Holy Friday morning girls decorate it with flowers, before the priest puts "Christ's body" in it.

During the evening mass boy scouts carry the Epitaphios around the city for a funeral procession.
