Great Lent is the strictest and longest of the many days of fasting established by the Church.
Lent is the main and strictest fast, both among Orthodox Christians and Catholics. Its purpose is to prepare for the celebration of Easter.
Great Lent has no fixed date, because it depends on the Resurrection of Christ. Lent begins seven weeks before Easter. In 2023, it will begin on Monday, February 27 and end on Saturday, April 15.
During Lent there are certain dietary restrictions that must be observed.
-
Monday, Wednesday, Friday – dry food, suggests cold food without oil;
-
Tuesday, Thursday – hot food in Lent;
-
Saturday, Sunday – food with the addition of vegetable oil, a glass of wine is allowed.
Often clerics, monks and novices strictly adhere to the church charter. Common people, on the other hand, simply follow the Lenten menu and try to drink fewer alcoholic beverages.
Thus, for the entire seven weeks of fasting, believers must avoid eating food containing meat, fish, milk, and eggs.
