With dignity and ecclesiastical order, the Holy Services of Holy Week and the Bright Resurrection were conducted in the Holy Archdiocese of Qatar, with the active participation of the pious flock.
The Holy Services were presided over by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Qatar, along with the Rev. Elias Barakat.
A large number of believers joyfully participated in the Holy Communion, with many traveling from the Emirates and Saudi Arabia to receive the Holy Sacraments of Unction and Confession.
The services were conducted in multiple languages including Greek, Arabic, Slavonic, Serbian, Romanian, and English to accommodate the diverse flock. The cantors beautifully performed the hymns, while the choirs sang the Praises of Good Friday in Arabic, Greek, and Serbian.
Dignitaries such as the Russian Ambassador, the Representative of the Greek Embassy, the Deputy Head of the Serbian Embassy, and the representative of the Embassy of Moldova attended the services on Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
The Epitaph Service and procession took place inside the Episcopal Hall on Good Friday, creating an atmosphere of deep sadness and emotion.
On the night of Holy Saturday, the Holy Cathedral and its courtyard were filled with Christians who participated in the Divine Liturgy, received the Immaculate Mysteries, and partook in the blessing of Easter eggs and offerings.
