東正教使用裹屍布的喪葬傳統，來自耶穌被釘於十字架，由門徒卸下屍體後，以乾淨細麻布裹好安葬的事蹟，三天後，耶穌顯現復活神蹟。東正教喪葬禮儀以祝禱為主，過程哀戚莊嚴，下葬時使用的裹屍布，演變至今，圖樣多元，但以希臘祈禱文、十字架與耶穌復活的神蹟故事為主。

The tradition of burying the dead with shrouds in the Orthodox Catholic Church comes from the story of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He was taken down by the disciples and wrapped in clean linen before burial. Three days later, he resurrected and ascended into Heaven. In the Orthodox Catholic Church, prayers are the main conduct in the burial of the dead. It is sad but solemn. They follow the tradition of wrapping the dead with clean linen after the Shroud of Turin. Changing over time, the patterns on it became more diverse. Nevertheless, Greek prayers, the Cross is used, and the miracle of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is told in the burial.
