Today marks the beginning of the last week in which we eat meat before Great Lent begins. We do not provide this announcement to promote gluttony, but rather, to alert you to use the remainder of the meat products in your home this week, and if you cannot, to freeze the rest to save them for after Pascha. Next week we will do the same with dairy products - use them up so that they are not wasted when we begin Great Lent on March 14. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions about fasting, or any aspect of Orthodox life.
