Parishioners of St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in old city Philadelphia begin the procession down 8th street. Holy Friday (Megali Paraskevi) is the most sacred day of Holy Week and is a day of mourning. At dusk the Epitafio is paraded through the streets with a quiet procession in tow. This is a sombre parade. Photo courtesy of Eleftherios Kostans.
