On Thursday evening, the so-called Twelve Gospels are read. These are twelve passages from the Gospels that recount the suffering of Christ. Through them, Christians reflect on the humiliation and pain that Christ endured, as well as the physical agony of His crucifixion, through which He redeemed the sins of mankind.
"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. "The message is for the faithful to reflect on whether they too are crucifying Christ through their passions and sins.
During the service, the clergy bring out the Cross from the altar, symbolising Christ's carrying of it to Golgotha.
