Post Calendar

Nothing in life comes without effort. And to celebrate a holiday, you need to prepare for it.

In the Russian Orthodox Church there are four multi-day fasts, fasting on Wednesday and Friday throughout the year (with the exception of a few weeks), three one-day fasts.

Great Lent

The Savior himself was led by the spirit into the wilderness, was tempted by the devil for forty days, and did not eat anything during those days. The Savior began the work of our salvation by fasting. Great Lent is a fast in honor of the Savior Himself, and the last Passion Week of this forty-eight-day fast is established in honor of the memory of the last days of earthly life, the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.

With special strictness, fasting is observed in the first and Passion Week.

On Clean Monday, complete abstinence from food is customary. The rest of the time: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - dry eating (water, bread, fruits, vegetables, compotes); Tuesday, Thursday - hot food without oil; Saturday, Sunday - food with vegetable oil.

Fish is allowed on the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin and on Palm Sunday. Fish caviar is allowed on Lazarus Saturday. On Good Friday, food must not be eaten until the shroud is taken out.

Petrov, or Apostolic Lent

On Monday of the week of All Saints, the fast of the Holy Apostles begins, established before the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul. This post is called summer. The continuation of the fast is different, depending on how early or late Easter is.

It always starts on All Saints Monday and ends on July 12th. The longest Petrov fast includes six weeks, and the shortest week with a day. This fast was established in honor of the Holy Apostles, who through fasting and prayer prepared themselves for the worldwide preaching of the Gospel and prepared their successors in the work of salvific service.

Strict fasting (dry eating) on ​​Wednesday and Friday. On Monday you can have hot food without oil. On other days - fish, mushrooms, cereals with vegetable oil.

Assumption post

A month after the Apostolic Lent, the many-day Assumption Lent begins. It lasts two weeks - from 14 to 28 August. With this fast, the Church calls us to imitate the Mother of God, who, before her resettlement to heaven, was unceasingly in fasting and prayer.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - dry eating. Tuesday, Thursday - hot food without oil. On Saturday and Sunday food with vegetable oil is allowed.

On the day of the Transfiguration of the Lord (August 19), fish is allowed. Fish day in Assumption, if it falls on Wednesday or Friday.

Christmas (Filippov) post

At the end of autumn, 40 days before the great feast of the Nativity of Christ, the Church calls us to the winter fast. It is also called Filippov, because it begins after the day dedicated to the memory of the Apostle Philip, and Christmas, because it happens before the feast of the Nativity of Christ.

This fast was established in order for us to offer the Lord a thankful sacrifice for the collected earthly fruits and to prepare for the grace-filled union with the born Savior.

If the feast of the Entrance into the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos falls on Wednesday or Friday, then fish is allowed. After the day of memory of St. Nicholas and before the feast of Christmas, fish is allowed on Saturday and Sunday. On the eve of the feast, you can not eat fish on all days, on Saturday and Sunday - food with butter.

On Christmas Eve, you can’t eat food until the first star appears, after which it is customary to eat sochivo - wheat grains boiled in honey or boiled rice with raisins.

Solid weeks

A week is a week from Monday to Sunday. These days there is no fasting on Wednesday and Friday.

There are five continuous weeks: Christmas time - from January 7 to January 18, Publican and Pharisee - 2 weeks before Lent, Maslenitsa - a week before Lent (without meat), Easter - a week after Easter, Trinity week after Trinity.

Wednesday and Friday

The weekly fast days are Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday, fasting was established in memory of the betrayal of Christ by Judas, on Friday - in memory of the suffering on the Cross and the death of the Savior. On these days of the week, the Holy Church forbids the use of meat and dairy foods, and during the week of All Saints before the Nativity of Christ, abstinence should also be from fish and vegetable oil. Only when the days of the celebrated saints fall on Wednesday and Friday are vegetable oil allowed, and on the biggest holidays, such as Intercession, fish.

Some relief is allowed for those who are sick and busy with hard work, so that Christians have the strength to pray and the necessary work, but the use of fish on the wrong days, and even more so, the complete resolution of fasting is rejected by the charter.

One day posts

1. Epiphany Christmas Eve- January 18, on the eve of the Epiphany. On this day, Christians prepare for purification and consecration with holy water on the feast of Epiphany.

2. The Beheading of John the Baptist- 11 September. This is the day of memory and death of the great prophet John.

3. Exaltation of the Holy Cross- September 27. The memory of the suffering of the Savior on the cross for the salvation of the human race. This day is spent in prayers, fasting, contrition for sins.

One-day fasts are days of strict fasting (except Wednesday and Friday). Fish is forbidden, but food with vegetable oil is allowed.

Lobio is made from dark beans. Pour beans with cold water in a ratio of not less than 1:3. Cook for 3 hours under the lid on the smallest fire, without salt. If your water boils away, add boiling water so that the beans are always covered, and if you are cooking for the first time, it is better to pour a little more than the indicated proportion of water, even 1:5. When the beans are boiled, remove the pan from the heat and mash the beans right in the pan with a wooden masher so that about half of them remain intact and the sauce becomes thick. Prepare the dressing: crush some walnuts, and crush the garlic with salt. Put in a saucepan, add 2-3 tablespoons of pomegranate extract or ketchup there, mix everything. As soon as it boils, the lobio is ready. If there is no pomegranate extract or ketchup, it's okay. A few minutes before readiness, put uncut greens: parsley, basil, cilantro. When the lobio has cooled, the greens must be removed. Served both hot and cold.

Everyone who, while living in a monastery, visited the monastery refectory, is surprised at how tasty the food is there, although the products are the simplest. To the question, what is the secret?

The monks themselves answer as one: "There are no secrets here, just when you cook and when you eat, you need to pray." But still there are some general principles that are observed in most monasteries, following the instructions of the holy fathers.

Firstly, you can’t eat up your fill, food should not burden the stomach. You should leave the meal with a slight feeling of hunger, which, by the way, is absolutely correct, since, according to all the laws of our nature, saturation occurs half an hour after eating.

Secondly, the food should, if possible, be vegetable and devoid of any spices. As we were explained in the Solovetsky Monastery, “there is a fine line between satisfying the feeling of hunger and pleasing the whims of the flesh. A monk needs to learn to distinguish it well. it is the only joy left to him from the world."

To avoid such temptations, the monks adhere to simple rules: food should be simple, nutritious, healthy and contain the necessary vitamins. Food serves to saturate and maintain strength, nothing more.

Trinity Serafimo-Diveevo Convent

Bishop's cutlets

Half a loaf of white bread, 3-4 onions, a glass of peeled walnuts (they replace meat and fish), two potatoes, a clove of garlic.

Pass all other ingredients through a meat grinder. Add garlic, salt, ground pepper.

There is no need to add oil to minced meat, because. when frying, tunics absorb oil very well.

Do not spare breadcrumbs, they form a crust during frying, which prevents the cutlets from falling apart. Make the tunics small and thick, so that later it is convenient to turn them over.

I think you can experiment: add a can of canned beans or mushrooms to the minced meat, or double the proportion of potatoes.
