So you aren't doing any of the fasts or dietary restrictions? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 16/02/2010 05:08:14 PM
All of my Orthodox friends are doing a lot of fasting for Lent, but they're all Greek Orthodox (with the exception of one who's a convert and attends, like, a Hungarian Orthodox church or something).

Are dietary restrictions common in the Orthodox Church? I know nothing of the Eastern Rite. :(

I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm quite good at not doing something if I have a reason. Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 05:48:34 AM 658 Views

the orthodox lent sounds similar to what Catholic Lent was >.> LadyLorraine - 16/02/2010 05:21:10 PM 556 Views
Pretty much. Tom - 16/02/2010 09:38:48 PM 783 Views
That's still on the books for Episcopalians, if I recall correctly, but as an option. Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 11:48:24 PM 585 Views

I'll give up something. Kel - 16/02/2010 02:02:02 PM 537 Views
I'm not a Christian, but I've given things up in the name of Lent. The Shrike - 16/02/2010 02:20:14 PM 566 Views
It's definitely socially handy. Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 05:19:22 PM 599 Views
which is really rather sad. LadyLorraine - 16/02/2010 05:28:35 PM 599 Views
Is it weird that I really like Lent? Darth_Katie - 16/02/2010 05:21:54 PM 583 Views
Perhaps it is. But, less so than lint, I'm thinking. LiterateDog - 16/02/2010 05:25:28 PM 627 Views
I actually do enjoy cleaning lint traps in the dryer. It's fun! *NM* Darth_Katie - 16/02/2010 05:34:08 PM 343 Views
it's an adventure *NM* LadyLorraine - 17/02/2010 07:33:26 PM 326 Views
No. It's foolishness. LiterateDog - 16/02/2010 05:26:53 PM 643 Views

Your drier must be hard-core Protestant. I'm sorry. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/02/2010 11:49:15 PM 350 Views
I don't think anyone here does I guess it's not our tradition (though I'm not even Christian) *NM* Lordling - 16/02/2010 08:04:55 PM 354 Views
