Why women tear off headscarves, being outside the gates of the church

It would seem that the basic rules of the Orthodox Church cannot be questioned. Until a few years ago, no one would have dared argue that a woman should cover her head with a headscarf when entering a church. Today, opinions on this matter are divided.



Should we mean by rejecting the rule of headscarves a weak faith? Or perhaps modern parishioners are just more thoughtful about the implementation of church rules? Today's edition. "Site" He proposes to deal with these issues together.

One of the main rules of the Orthodox Church is a regular visit to the temple. Until recently, a weekly attendance at a Sunday morning service was considered a necessary minimum. But given the current situation around the world, it is unlikely that many still follow it, despite the strength of their faith.

It would seem that something, and reading home prayer should not cause anyone special difficulties. And yet sometimes even the most conscientious parishioners manage to forget about this simple rule. This is certainly not surprising. After all, worldly problems daily surround us and enclose us in a tight circle of household censers. But is forgetfulness as excusable as you think?



To date, they have also become more lenient towards the rule of fasting. If earlier it was mandatory to observe fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, now most people are limited to traditional fasting, dedicated to large Orthodox holidays.



Words cannot describe how important it is for a Christian to participate in various church sacraments, including confession. Many forget that confession should be made not only during fasting, but whenever a soul burdened with the burden of a new sin demands it.



Charity and voluntary donations for the improvement of the church are the duty of anyone who dares to call himself a parishioner of the Orthodox Church. Many question the profitability of this rule, believing that it is only about material assistance. However, you can help not only with money, but also with deed, and sometimes only a couple of kind words are enough.



Not every Christian today can boast a high level of theological enlightenment. But the constant increase in the level of one’s education and the carrying of the Word of God to ignorant souls is almost the main rule of the Orthodox Church. There is no one who can be called a good parishioner who does not delve into the knowledge of Holy Scripture and does not strengthen his faith.



Do you always follow the rules of the Orthodox Church? Which ones are the easiest for you? We look forward to discussing this with you in the comments.

In the meantime, goodbye and wish you a good day! See you again.
