📝 Summary

It is not necessary to "walk properly" - with alcohol and amusements - before Lent, said Hieromonk Macarius (Markish). Wide festivities on Maslenitsa can knock off the spiritual mood.

According to the church charter, carnival is considered “meat-empty” – at this time it is no longer possible to eat meat. Believers consider this time to be the entrance to Great Lent – a time of prayer and repentance. “Formalism, as in the army, is not necessary here, it is the Pharisee view of the world, which led to the fact that the Savior was crucified. We need to take advantage of opportunities, resources. That is, we go to church, we pray, we read good books, if possible, we fast - who can do what he can, the hieromonk explained to RIA Novosti. On April 20, Orthodox Christians will meet the Resurrection of Christ, or Easter.
