The Holly Passion. Τα Άγια Πάθη.

A few images of the Holy Passion from the frescoes from the Monastery of Stavronikita at Mt Athos. All paintings were created by the hands of the monk Theofanis the Cretan, late 16th century.
Μερικές εικόνες των Αγίων Παθών απο τις τοιχογραφίες της Μονής Σταυρονικήτα στο Άγιο Όρος. Όλες είναι από τα χέρια του μοναχού Θεοφάνη του Κρητός, στα τέλη του 16ου αιώνα.
The Last Supper. Ο Μυστικός Δείπνος.
Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane.  Ο Ιησούς προσεύχεται στην Γεσθημανή.
Juda's betrayal. Η προδοσία του Ιούδα.
Jesus being judged. Ο Ιησούς δικάζεται.
Pilatus washing his hands. Ο Πιλάτος νίπτει τας χείρας του.
Going up the hill of Golgotha. Ανεβαίνοντας τον Γολγοθά.
The Crucifixion. Η Σταύρωσις.
Mourning Jesus on His tomb. Ο Επιτάφιος Θρήνος.
You can hear some of the hymns sung at the Greek Orthodox Churches tonight, mourning Jesus. Here they are sung by a Byzantine Choir, according to the original Byzantine music.
Μερικά από τα Εγκώμια που ψέλνονται απόψε στις Εκκλησίες, ψαλμένα από την Βυζαντινή χορωδία.
