Apostolic Rules for the Great Lent – Father Gavril Galev
Posted By Macedon on February 28, 2025

The Great (Easter) Lent begins on Monday (03 / 03 / 2025) following Forgiveness Sunday, may it be blessed and easy for us. This fast is dedicated for the preparation, and in honour and memory of the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Christ rose from the dead and with His death He nullified death, and, as a result all of us who believe and follow Him will inherit resurrection and eternal life. God gave this assignment (goal, purpose) to man whilst still in paradise, the Garden of Eden; man had to fulfil only one commandment, to abstain, i.e. to fast. If fasting was necessary for man in paradise in order to reach the goal then it is needed even more so in this land of alienation and apostasy.
