The term "Επιτάφιο" (Epitaph) refers to a traditional Greek funeral hymn, often sung during the Holy Week of Orthodox Christianity. It commemorates the burial of Jesus Christ and reflects themes of mourning and resurrection. The hymn is typically performed during the Good Friday service, accompanied by a symbolic procession. The Epitaph is usually associated with a decorated bier, representing the tomb of Christ. It is an important part of the Paschal celebrations, emphasizing the sorrow of the crucifixion while also foreshadowing the joy of the resurrection. This practice highlights the deep cultural and religious significance of death and rebirth in Greek tradition.
