The Troparion of this day sees an angel tell some "myrrh-bearing women" that myrrh is not good enough for Christ. One event on this day saw a speech in which crying women were told to "weep for yourselves and for your children," and that barren women would be blessed one day. Events during it can be represented by the Via Dolorosa, which honors the actions of Saint Veronica and Simon of Cyrene. This day immediately follows another holiday which contains the traditional washing of the feet and is given the adjective "Maundy." For 10 points, name this holiday which commemorates the day Jesus was crucified and takes place two days before Easter Sunday.
