Lent Begins for Eastern Orthodox Faithful Worldwide
Eastern Orthodox Christians across Albanian Bulgarian Carpatho Russian Greek Romanian Russian Serbian Syrian and Ukrainian jurisdictions in the United States and Canada observe Great Lent starting Monday with fasting abstaining from meat dairy and some fish while preparing for Easter on April 30. Arch bishop Iakovos urges a positive spiritual disposition and true repentance not mere abstinence, emphasizing purification of the soul through fasting prayer and renewed virtue. Cheesefare Sunday marks the message read in the Western Hemisphere and Lent services include Great Compline Readings Kathari Clean Monday Matins and the Liturgy of the Pre Sanctified Gifts with Akathist hymns and Salutations to the Blessed Virgin Mary Fridays.
