The commemoration of the Lord’s death takes place at 3pm, the time recorded as Jesus’ death in the Gospels.

The simplicity of the commemoration increases its value for Christians who remember the death of Jesus Christ. Musical instruments are not used in the commemoration.

The commemoration includes the time when priest lie face down on the floor, the account of Jesus’ Passion and Death and the Adoration of the Cross.

This event is divided into three parts: the Liturgy of the Word and Universal Prayers; the Adoration of the Cross and Holy Communion.
