Lent is a 40-day period before Easter focused on spirituality, prayer, and fasting. In the Orthodox Church, the fast is quite strict -no meat, dairy, eggs, or any animal products, and also no desserts or indulgent foods. The idea isn’t just about giving up food but also about improving spiritually being kinder, giving more, and strengthening one’s relationship with God.
During the last week of Lent, especially on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, it is forbidden to use phones, electronic devices, or engage in distractions. This time is entirely dedicated to prayer, self-reflection, and drawing closer to God. It is best to isolate oneself, avoid idle conversations, and spend time in spiritual reading and deep contemplation on the meaning of the Resurrection.
