Did you fast during Lent Ako?
Most orthodox churches are supposed to go vegan aren't they?

Is this a calendar thing? As an extremely nominal Catholic we celebrated Easter a couple of weeks ago.

It is, the orthodox easter dates are taken from the Julian calender not the Gregorian which the catholics & protestants use.
Strangely enough, for Christmas the Russians continue to use the Julian, but the greeks turn around and use the Gregorian

greeks use a reformed Julian not a gregorian calender for fixed dates. Small but important difference.Smile
 
we go vegan, but shellfish/mollusks are ok. They dont bleed or something along those lines. Most greeks over here do the last week, but it should be for the whole lent. No oils or levan bread during certian days.
