Eπιτάφιος

Grateful to my dear Missionaries of Mary friends: Sr. Katarzyna, Sr. Rachel, Sr. Edith and Sr. Sophie, whose mother sent us this most precious gift, a high-quality print-on-cloth of an Eπιτάφιος (Epitaphios: cloth-icon of the burial of the Savior).

We consecrated the Eπιτάφιος after celebrating the First Saturday Eucharist.

"Noble Joseph took down your most pure body from the tree, wrapped it in a clean shroud, covered it with spices and laid it in a new tomb..."
