Tăierea Capului Sf. Ioan Botezătorul 2026. Ce nu se mănâncă astăzi

On August 29, 2026, Orthodox Christians commemorate the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, marking the end of the liturgical year. This day is observed with fasting and prayer, leading to specific dietary restrictions. Foods such as round fruits and vegetables, especially red ones, are avoided, as well as red beverages, symbolizing the bloodshed of the saint. Some traditions suggest consuming only grapes or practicing strict fasting. The day is significant for its connection to the ascetic life of Saint John, who preached repentance and baptized many. His legacy continues to influence Christian practices today.
