Holy & Great Friday Royal Hours with Presanctified Liturgy

On Great and Holy Friday in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the Royal Hours are a solemn service of prayers, hymns, and Scripture readings commemorating the Passion of Christ. The Great Hours are celebrated only three times a year: on the Eve of the Nativity, the Eve of Theophany, and Great Friday.
