Hey there! I should post more, shouldn't I? I always should though. Yeah, Lent. Sigh. I am NOT READY for it to be over, if that makes sense.

You so should!! It will be awesome. :)

please explain,

lent food restriction
annunciation/vigil
holy week and 1) why it is not this week if it starts on Friday and 2) what it involves.

lizziebennet April 6 2009, 18:47:17 UTC

Lent food restrictions: basic rules involve no meat or dairy for the period of Lent (and Holy Week, which is technically different, liturgically, but is really all part of the same thing-it ends up being almost 50 days all together). Also no fish, except on Annunciation and Palm Sunday. Wine and olive oil are allowed on weekends, otherwise not, though the rule about oil is not followed strictly ( ... )

cool. Thanks. I find this stuff fascinating.

:) Always happy to explain. I also find Judaism fascinating!

What church are you going to now? I assumed you were still at St. Spyridon.

lizziebennet April 6 2009, 17:26:55 UTC

I am going to St. Nicholas (the one in Seattle). I've been going there full time since the beginning of January, and before that I was kind of transitioning.

(Please post a falafel recipe!)

I felt the same way about Lent - it went zooming by for me too.
I didn't know you switched parishes, cool beans.
And, I have an odd conversation that happened, that I kind of need to bounce off someone, I think I may send you a PM on Facebook.

lizziebennet April 7 2009, 00:21:03 UTC

I did switch. :) I am gradually informing people and hoping they dont' think I'm crazy.

I got your message, I will reply, just don't have time now. Also, please PM me your address?? Thanks!

mimima April 7 2009, 17:03:25 UTC

Not crazy at all.
And, hopefully after that long rambling message, you don't think it of me.
No worries, I'll look forward to your response when it is time.

lizziebennet April 7 2009, 22:15:58 UTC

Thanks for the address. I will mail you something tomorrow--unfortunately they didn't have English though!

I think I will respond to your pm also tomorrow, I actually was wanting to find out the answer to your question from a ROCOR point of view, which I was planning to do tonight. Heh.
