Recipes: for Feasting and Fasting
"And thou shalt rejoice in thy Feast,
thou, and thy son, and thy daughter,
and thy manservant and they maidservant,
and the Levite,
the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow,
that are within they gates"
Deut. 16:14
"While fasting in body,
let us also fast in spirit.
Let us loose the bonds of iniquity.
Let us undo the chains of injustice.
Let us break the yoke of oppression.
Let us give food to the hungry.
Let us shelter the poor and homeless,
so that we may receive great mercy
from Christ our God"
from the stichera for Wednesday of the First Week of the Great Fast, Tone 8
"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance:
But thou, when thou fastest,
anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
That thou appear not unto men to fast,
but unto thy Father which is in secret:" Matt 6:17, 18a, 19a |
