"Umbrellas," the famous sculpture in Thessaloniki by Giorgos Zogolopoulos, was illuminated in red on Thursday night.

Red represents the blood of Christ and rebirth.

On Holy Thursday, four events are commemorated: the washing of the disciples’ feet, the institution of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, the agony in the garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal of Christ by Judas.
