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.
Bridegroom Matins
This week the Church in her wisdom gives us the Bridegroom Matins. The Bridegroom Matins are celebrated the first three days of Holy Week, and each day commemorates a different theme.
Alleluia!
Some of you are quite shocked by our graphic today! It's Lent! It's the Great Fast! And you're saying Alleluia?!
The Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete
This Thursday we celebrate the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete. The canon was written by St. Andrew of Crete as part of his personal meditation and reflects on both the New Testament and the Old Testament in identifying how we should live.
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.
