Vineri a început Postul Adormirii Maicii Domnului. De ce este considerat mai ușor decât Postul Mare

The Dormition Fast begins on July 31 and ends on August 14, leading up to the feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. This fast, established by the Church, is considered easier than Great Lent but stricter than other fasting periods. The fast encourages prayer and humility, with specific dietary rules: on certain days, believers fast until the ninth hour, while on others, they consume boiled vegetables or allow oil and wine. The feast of the Dormition is one of the oldest dedicated to the Virgin Mary, with its observance dating back to the 5th century.
