Explanation of the Special Ceremony after Holy Friday Service: After the Holy Friday ceremony, Priests come out from the Chapel along with believers holding olive tree branches. Priests alone carry the olive tree branches & hit believers as a symbol of Christ bitten to death and believers confess if they commit sin in the holy week.
