'Threnody on the Tomb') also known as Encomia Epitafiou (Εγκώμια Επιταφίου) is a Christian liturgical hymn sang on Holy Saturday in the Orthodox churches.

[2] The repertoire of the Encomia lamentations first appeared as such in the 1522 edition of the service book of the Orthodox Church Triodion, printed in Venice.

Each statis is commonly known by its first phrase; in Greek these are: At the beginning of each stasis, the priest or deacon performs a censing of the epitaphios.

In the Greek tradition, at the third and final stasis, the priest will sprinkle rosewater on the epitaphios and the congregation, symbolising the anointing of Christ's body with spices.

In addition to the cantors of Byzantine music, the eulogies have been performed and recorded by various contemporary Greek and international artists, such as Maria Farantouri, Glykeria, Haris Alexiou, Petros Gaitanos, Fairuz and others.
