Byzantine Basics - Fasting Seasons
Quick! How many fasting seasons does the Byzantine calendar have? I'm not talking Fridays, I'm talking the multi-day fasting periods.
Alleluia!
Some of you are quite shocked by our graphic today! It's Lent! It's the Great Fast! And you're saying Alleluia?!
Holy Presanctified Gifts
During the Great Fast, we celebrate the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, oftentimes referred to as Presanctified Liturgy. During this liturgy, the faithful are provided an opportunity to receive communion which was consecrated on Sunday during Divine Liturgy.
Bridegroom Matins
The church celebrates Bridegroom Matins during the first three days of Holy Week. Each day has a slightly different theme.Each day of where we pray the Bridegroom Matins, we are called to deeper encounter with Jesus, deeper prayer, deeper holiness, deeper repentance.
