unusual facts about Thomas Sunday



Radonitsa

Because of the importance of the last few days of Holy Week, and because of the joy of the Resurrection, the Typikon (Ustav) forbids, as in other festal periods, special prayers for the departed, e.g. a Panikhida, aside from funerals from Great and Holy Thursday through Thomas Sunday (a period of eleven days).
