The cloth depicting the burial of Christ, brought out on Good Friday and carried in procession.
În Vinerea Mare, Epitaful este așezat pe o masă împodobită cu flori în mijlocul bisericii, care închipuie mormântul lui Hristos. Credincioșii trec pe sub el, iar seara este purtat în procesiune în jurul bisericii, la slujba Prohodului.
