The Eastern Rite celebrates Holy Week and Easter based on the Julian calendar

This is St James Cathedral of the Armenian Catholic branch of the Eastern rite in Old Jerusalem. Their church calendar begins on September 1 and not the first Sunday of Advent as is used by the Western church. As a part of their Good Friday liturgy the death of Christ is represented by this beautifully decorated “casket”.
