A rare gold-embroidered Epitaphios from the Benaki Museum collection, created during a period of major artistic revival in Byzantium. Depicting Christ after the Deposition with mourning angels, it was used in Good Friday liturgy and reflects both deep theological meaning and ceremonial function. Renowned for its exceptional silk craftsmanship and gold thread work, it stands as one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine ecclesiastical textiles, combining sacred narrative, ritual use and extraordinary artistic refinement. #GreekEaster #Easter #Greece #WhiteLabeldvp
