Christmas post. Do you know how to fast properly?







In Orthodox Russia, the New Year is celebrated inthe strictest days of the Nativity Fast. This holiday, as well as in all forty days of fasting, is supposed to give up entertainment, watching TV, listening to music. It is not necessary to cancel the New Year's Eve. The main thing is not to violate the basic rules of fasting, to limit entertainment and abundant festivities on a festive night. In food, it is necessary to abandon products of animal origin: meat, eggs, milk and dairy products. You are allowed to eat fish on all days, except Wednesday and Friday. The last two weeks of the Christmas fast are forbidden to eat fish and caviar. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday allowed only dryness, that is, no vegetable oil is added to the food. All days of fasting are forbidden to drink wine. You can not overeat, because it is considered a sin. All the forty days before the Nativity of Christ, the Orthodox spend in prayer and repentance. For those who first fast and do not know the order of the rite, clergymen in the temple will explain all the rules. It should be as often as possible to attend church services and spend time in penitential prayers. Confession and Communion are held every day in the first three weeks of fasting. On the eve of the performance of these sacraments, it is recommended to visit the evening service. Corporeal abstinence should be fully combined with spiritual fasting throughout all forty days. The day before Christmas is called Christmas Eve. From the very morning until the first star appears in the sky, it is not allowed to eat food. This star reminds people of the biblical stories. The purpose of the Christmas fast is not to abstain from certain food, bad habits and carnal pleasures, but in the purification of the soul and repentance. And if you try to observe fasting in all its manifestations for the first time, perhaps something will not happen right away or somewhere you will go wrong. Do not despair and get angry, get upset and renounce the beginnings. Always you will be helped by the advice and guidance of priests and the commandments of the scriptures.
