Вечером в Великий четверг совершается Утреня Великой пятницы, или служба 12 Евангелий, как обычно называют это богослужение: все оно посвящено благоговейному воспоминанию спасительных страданий и крестной смерти Иисуса Христа. Евангелие читается в середине храма, во время чтения все стоят с зажженными свечами.
Есть добрый обычай – взять с собой после этой службы горящую свечу, донести до дома огонек и зажечь лампадку. Люди расходятся из храма вестниками света: несут домой часть того, что происходит в эти дни в Церкви Божией.

В вечер Пятницы совершается погребение Плащаницы. После великого славословия вокруг храма идет крестный ход. Этот крестный ход совершается в воспоминание погребения Иисуса Христа, когда благообразный Иосиф с Никодимом, в сопровождении Матери Божией и жен мироносиц, несли на руках умершего на кресте Спасителя. Они шли от горы Голгофы до погребальной пещеры, в которую, по обычаю иудейскому, положили тело Христово.

За богослужением читается Апостол, затем у Плащаницы поется песнопение «Воскресни, Боже, суди земли, яко Ты наследиши во веки». В это время священники в алтаре переоблачаются, сняв темные постовые одежды, надевают белые пасхальные.
