As you may know, Easter is more important in the Eastern Orthodox
religion than Christmas. 
On Good Friday, we were staying with relative, Freda and George, and
attended the religious service with them. 
The service includes this flower laden bier for Christ. After a 2 hour
service, with wonderful chanting and incense, the bier is carried out of
the church and is carried throughout the town. Then everyone walks
under it back into the church.
