Christmas post – one of four multi-day fasts of the Orthodox Church – continues from November 28 to January 6 inclusive. Fasting is not only a time of abstinence from a particular kind of food, and often go to the temple. If the rhythm of life does not allow to be on duty each day, what days are best to choose?
Fast table the Observance of advent in relation to food is relatively easy. In the 33rd Chapter of the Typicon, in which we are talking about all the posts of the year, it is proposed such a scheme: on Saturdays and Sundays fish is allowed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays – food with oil and wine, Wednesday and Friday – xerophagy. If on a weekday gets memory slavoslovie or polylang St., on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are allowed to fish on Wednesday and Friday – oil and wine. If on the eve or Friday all night vigil is celebrated, in those days fish is allowed.
In the same book in the instructions of November 14 (the day before lent in the Church calendar), you can find more strict regulations which fish is allowed only on Saturdays and Sundays, the Introduction in temple Presvjatoj of the virgin and in 9 days, when is celebrated the memory of great saints, if they will come on Tuesday or Thursday. Since January 2, according to this version of the Charter, the fish can not be eaten at all. It also contains a reference to an even more stringent Statute.
Such discrepancies are associated with the presence of two traditions – a softer more strict Studite and Jerusalem. Jerusalem Charter – the Charter of hermit-monks, involves a strict fast and a longer service – eventually became dominant in the Church, but to the realities of modern life closer studion Charter, developed by the urban monks of the monastery.
In fact, the majority of Orthodox Christians do not delve into these subtleties and eat fish every day except Wednesdays and Fridays, when transferred to food oil. In eve(the Eve of Christmas – January 6) the meal comes once in the evening (or after the Liturgy), without oil.
However, not so interesting food features of the post, as the liturgical.
