The Good Friday crucifix and frescoes on walls of the katholikon in the. Trinity Monastery, Meteora, Greece.
"Merciful God, creator of all the peoples of the earth and lover of
souls: Have compassion on all who do not know you as you are revealed in
your Son Jesus Christ; let your Gospel be preached with grace and power
to those who have not heard it; turn the hearts of those who resist it;
and bring home to your fold those who have gone astray; that there may
be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"
(Solemn Collect for Good Friday, American BCP 1979)
