The older housewives stayed until Thursday night doing housework because, as they said, “on Good Friday we don’t have to do anything, we don’t do housework.”
In fact, they painted the eggs on the afternoon of Holy Thursday and hid them so that on the day of mourning they would not find them. The fast also got tougher on Good Friday. It was a day of absolute fasting, the Church remembers Jesus’ journey to the Cross and death, his burial and, ultimately, the complete dominance of evil over good until the second triumph with the Resurrection.
According to the Gospel accounts, Jesus was crucified at 9 in the morning. His martyrdom lasted 6 hours, until, at 3 in the afternoon, he gave up his spirit, saying “it is over.”

The customs of Good Friday are many and varied throughout the country.
In Nafpaktos, on the night of Good Friday, many people, locals and visitors, followed the procession of the Epitaph, forming processions, which pass through the port, where torches are placed specially placed in the Castle tombs, around the port. In the middle of the port entrance, the torches formed a large cross, which illuminated the entire port, presenting a spectacular image.
People go earlier and lay dirt where the epitaph will stop. As soon as the service ends, they go and take that land and scatter it at home so the bedbugs get lost.
In Zakynthos, the all-encompassing atmosphere and the peculiarities of “Zante Easter” with its peculiar “antitheses” (customs) make it special. At noon on Good Friday, a large number of believers participate in the procession of the Crucified that crosses the entire city. In the Metropolitan Church of Agios Nikolaos ton Xenon, the procession of the Epitaph, according to an ancient local custom, takes place in the early hours of Holy Saturday morning, while at dawn the despot raises the resurrection. With the first strike of the bell, the despot freely releases white doves while from the bell tower they throw clay pots on the street, as well as all the inhabitants of the island from their windows.
