"Jerusalem Matins is a unique liturgical service that the Byzantine Rite Churches celebrate on the evening of Good Friday or on Holy Saturday morning. According to its structure and content, Matins is a prayer vigil at the tomb of the Savior, praising and mourning His death, which bestowed life to all. The texts of Matins are filled with deep theological reflection on the saving work of the Son of God in light of His victory over death and decay in the glorious Resurrection." (
