Detailed church calendar of holidays and fasts for 2024, so as not to get confused

“Forgive me, Lord, I didn’t know!” – a similar phrase can often be heard from friends when you make a remark that it is not accepted to work on a religious holiday. The usual thing: in the temple there is a service, and women are busy with washing, then cleaning, or on the garden with a shovel stand and catch the judgmental looks of an elderly neighbor. Of course, the saints are generous and know how to forgive, but it is better not to sin again and not to anger the Lord. Since not all Christian celebrations have an exact date, it is recommended to keep the 2024 church calendar on hand.
