Step into a thousand-year-old ritual on Good Friday as the faithful sing the Lamentations beside Christ's flower-draped funeral bier. The Epitafios procession winds through this luminous Byzantine cathedral, candles flickering, voices rising in haunting harmony. Visitors welcome: no Greek required to feel the weight of this ancient grief.
