Μεγάλη Δευτέρα - μεγάλη μαχαίρα

Listen

Lyrics

Holy Monday – the butcher’s knife
Holy Tuesday – Christ in hiding
Holy Wednesday – Christ arrested
Maundy Thursday – Christ tormented
Good Friday – Christ crucified
Holy Saturday – Christ entombed
Easter Sunday – Christ shall rise.

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Μεγάλη Δευτέρα - μεγάλη μαχαίρα

Μεγάλη Δευτέρα – μεγάλη μαχαίρα
Μεγάλη Τρίτη – ο Χριστός εκρύφτη
Μεγάλη Τετάρτη – ο Χριστός επιάστη
Μεγάλη Πέμπτη – ο Χριστός παιδεύτη
Μεγάλη Παρασκευή – ο Χριστός στο καρφί
Μεγάλο Σάββατο – ο Χριστός στον τάφο
Μεγάλη Κυριακή – ο Χριστός θ’ αναστηθεί.
