Bright Friday is dedicated to the Feast of Zoodochos Pigi, honoring the Mother of God of the Life-giving Spring.
This feast celebrates the Virgin Mary, who, though a creation of God like all humans, conceived miraculously and obediently played a crucial role in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Through her, the God-man was born, bringing life, resurrection, and liberation from human sins.
One of the notable churches dedicated to Zoodochos Pigi is a 5th-century Christian pilgrimage site known for its holy water, situated in the Eptapyrgion region of Constantinople, near the Gate of Silivri.
This monastery houses a community of nuns, and pilgrims come to venerate the icon of the Virgin Mary and receive blessings from the holy water of the Monastery.
