"It is necessary for the soul and is useless to please the body"
How to keep the great post, which began on Monday, Great Lent is the most stringent and long of four many days established by the Church. It lasts 48 days. On forgiven Sunday, preceding the beginning of the Great Lent, people ask each other for forgiveness, and on Easter, advancing immediately after him, joyfully greet each other the news of the resurrection of Jesus. 7 weeks between these two Sundays, believers voluntarily and are happy to refuse to eat and fast.
