After the Stations of the Cross procession, the services of the holy burial of the Lord were carried out. The ministers prostrate themselves on the ground before the altar, as an image of sunken and oppressed humanity, and at the same time a penitent who begs forgiveness for his sins.
Ministers and priests dress in red, the color of martyrs, since Jesus is the first witness of the love of the Father and of all those who, like him, gave and continue to give their lives to proclaim the liberation that God offers.
In the El Calvario parish of San Salvador, the biblical text that narrates the descent and the moment when the body of the Son of God is placed in a tomb was recreated.
Good Friday is a day of mourning during which the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary is remembered to save humanity from sin and give it eternal life, which is why the Eucharist is not celebrated in all the temples of the world.
The Holy Burial procession traveled through the main streets of the historic center of San Salvador, remembering the moment after Jesus’ death on the cross on Good Friday and before his resurrection on Easter Sunday, as narrated in the gospels.
