The Crucifixion (St. John Lampadistis Monastery, 14th Century), The Passion Fresco Paintings, Republic of Cyprus
Description
The Orthodox world with its strong ties to Hellenism, in contrast to the rest of Christianity, believes that the greatest of Christian holidays is that of Easter and not Christmas. The birth of Christ is the greatest happy event whereas the crucifixion and Christ's death are the greatest tragedy. And it would have been catastrophic if the resurrection had not followed this momentous event. The preparations for each holiday are different. In the case of Christmas they are commercial and happy with songs, carols, gifts, and sweets. Whereas for Easter they are more spiritual with the forty days of fasting, the Holy Week and the abundance of Christian customs that go with it. The daily participation of the faithful in the religious rites, that differ completely from all others in so far as the flock is involved, culminates with Easter Sunday, the most important day when Christ's and the believers’ victory over death is celebrated.
