LIVE High Definition (HD) live stream and broadcast of the Greek Orthodox Removal of Jesus Christ from the Cross (The Apokathelosis) on Great and Holy Friday Afternoon (Good Friday). These are the Vespers of Holy Saturday.
The Apokathelosis service in the Greek Orthodox Church is a solemn Vespers service on Great Friday. It marks the end of remembering Jesus' suffering and prepares believers for his descent into Hades. During the service, an icon of Jesus Christ is taken down from the cross and wrapped in white cloth, symbolizing his burial. This act reflects the Church's meditation on Jesus' death and burial, leading to the celebration of his Resurrection. The Eastern Orthodox service is conducted mainly using English and Greek and streamed LIVE from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.
