The Epitafio is the cloth depicting the body of Jesus used by Greek Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches which is carried on the Kouvouklion. On Good Friday, the Epitafio is placed in the Kouvouklion with the Gospel Book placed on top. Hymns of Lamentation are sung in which after the portion of the Myrrh Bearing Women, rose petals are thrown onto the Epitafio symbolizing the anointing of the Body of Jesus.
