I've been Orthodox for five years and am wanting to participate in the fast in a more "intentionally spiritual" way this year. I'm bookmarking your blog...the Orthodox world is small enough that it's enjoyable to run across an Orthodox Christian in the blogosphere!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567943463946571059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-59608271503757347412008-11-15T10:22:00.000-05:002008-11-15T10:22:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for your clear explanations of t...Thank you so much for your clear explanations of the various fasts.

I've heard that "Orthodox Christmas" is in January.

In my "home" church (evangelic) it's hardly ever done, people only fast when they want something really badly or have deep concerns. Also, fasting is regarded as not eating anything. I have been attending catholic and anglican churches for over a year, and I wondered why exactly they fast. The article you linked to says it so clearly! It has much more meaning now. I never realised fasting is important for so many aspects of our life. <BR/>I also want to thank you that you commented on my blog. You're the first one! It's nice to see people actually read what I write down.Ciskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323354394194512493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-61983232464870218222007-11-15T14:28:00.000-05:002007-11-15T14:28:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ciskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323354394194512493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-48317693163125986062007-11-15T14:11:00.000-05:002007-11-15T14:11:00.000-05:00Fascinating!

Is there a particular reason why your season starts today? Just wondering!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
