ABOVE: Father Daniel Morton leads during the Orthos of Great and Holy Saturday Lamentations Service on Friday at St. John the Theologian Orthodox Church, 353 Christine St., Suite 1, in Cape Girardeau. The Orthodox Church Holy Week sometimes falls on different dates from other Christian faiths because it uses a different calendar. BELOW: Father Daniel Morton, left, leads the Orthos of Great and Holy Saturday Lamentations Service. The service uses an Epithaphios, which is a representation of Christ's tomb. BOTTOM: Father Daniel Morton gives a blessing to a parishioner during the Orthos of Great and Holy Saturday Lamentations Service.
