February 9 is the first of the Sundays which prepare us for the Great Lent. As you may know, these preparatory weeks and Lent itself have special fasting practices, which are not always indicated clearly in our calendars. In order to explain these practices Fr. Silviu has put together a page on fasting on our website. Please find it under the “Orthodoxy” tab, in the folder “who we Orthodox are.” And see him with any questions.
