This is something I usually watch on Good Friday. It is from Chevetogne Abbey in Belgium, where they follow our Western and also the Byzantine liturgy. Here the monks celebrate the last part of their Byzantine Good Friday liturgy - the funeral procession and Burial of Jesus. Our Lord is represented by an image that is carried, and then they stand the Bible on it - the Word. It is scattered with petals and then the people come up to venerate the image - the equivalent of our venerating the Cross. They take home a petal.
It's different, but it's good to see how others observe these days. Sit back and take part...
