Nativity Fast and New Year
V New Year it is better for believers not to interrupt their fast, but they should not condemn unchurched relatives and friends who are not averse to celebrating the New Year's holiday with a feast. The believer must remember that condemning one's neighbor is a sin, especially during fasting. Also, when inviting guests, you should take care that on the festive table, at which they will sit, including those who are fasting, there are both fast and lean dishes. And since the New Year 2017 will come on the night from Saturday to Sunday, it will be easy to observe the rules of fasting and not quarrel with fellow believers: on this day, those who are fasting are allowed fish and wine.
What to eat on Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve- this is the last day of the Nativity Fast and the Eve of the Nativity of Christ. The word "Christmas Eve" comes from the name of the dish "sochivo", which is prepared from wheat, lentils or rice. Sochivo is traditionally eaten on the evening of January 6 (after the first star appears in the sky). According to the strict monastic charter, this should be done after complete abstinence from food throughout the day. And after you have eaten the juice, you can start your festive meal.
Folk omens
The last day before the Nativity (Filippov) Lent is Philip's Day, the day of remembrance of the Apostle Philip. The people call this day, which falls on November 27 (14), Kudelitsa. This day is considered the eve (eve) before fasting. On Kudelitsa in the villages, the last weddings were finished to play, because during the fast weddings are prohibited. Towards the war ended the tow-house - the time when women and girls prepared tow - refined flax or hemp fiber, prepared for spinning.
Philip's spell is the beginning of the Christmas "cold" fast. Another name for the post is Karachunovsky, Karachun. The ancient word "karachun" meant darkness, death and the longest night of the year, which falls on December 21-22.
Sayings and ceremonies on Kudelitsa and Filippovka
Filippovki - to celebrate the last date of the wedding.
On Filippovo, they take out a snack from the house to the courtyard so that cattle can live, they also invite brownies to dinner.
Who did not get married before Filippovki - pray to God and wait for a new meat-eater.
Fasting is not a drinker for weddings, it won't brew beer, it won't invite you to a feast-conversation.
You will not strain in the winter, there will be nothing to weave in the summer.

Orthodox fasts and their meaning for Christians
Easter (Bright Resurrection of Christ) is the central event among all Christian holidays. This holiday symbolizes the atonement of human sins before the Lord through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and the victory of good over evil through his miraculous resurrection. It is Easter that makes people think about their life on Earth and reconsider all their values.
What is the date of Easter - the most important and main holiday of all Christians, in 2016? The date of Easter falls on different days, and even months, every year. But it is always necessary - spring. This period ranges from April 4th to May 8th. Sometimes it happens that the feast of the Resurrection of the Lord coincides with the feast of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos. In this case, it is called Kiriopasha. 
In the upcoming 2016, the number of celebrations of Orthodox Easter will be considered late, as it is celebrated on May 1. Another national holiday will also be held on this day. But for all believers, the main event will remain the date of the Bright Resurrection of Christ. It is on this day that people all over the world once again receive the hope of salvation and deliverance from sins.
Thanks to the solar-lunar calendar, you can calculate Easter in 2016 and in all other years. Also, to calculate the date of the onset of Easter, you can use the help of special tables, the so-called Easter, which are compiled by the church. Studying this calendar, you can see that such Christian holidays as the Ascension of Christ, the Trinity and the Day of reverence for the Holy Spirit directly depend on the day of the Resurrection of Christ. There are even mathematical formulas for determining the date of Easter in any year.
The celebration of the day of the Bright Resurrection of Jesus Christ is accompanied by a mass of Christian traditions. Almost all Easter traditions arise in divine services. Thus, the Easter service is necessarily performed throughout the night. You can't finish it earlier. It is from this night on and throughout the next forty days that everyone greets each other: "Christ is risen!", And in response they say: "Indeed he is risen!" With such a greeting, be sure to kiss three times. Very often after this, an exchange of colored eggs occurs.
The most thrilling moment in the Passover service is the appearance of the Passover fire in the main temple in Jerusalem. This fire spreads to all other churches, from which the parishioners light their candles, and then during the year they try to maintain it in the lamps at home. 
From the beginning of the Bright Resurrection of Christ, Great Lent ends. On this day, the rite of consecration of cakes, curd beads and eggs is performed in the temples. Other products may also be brought. With the consumption of this consecrated food, fasting ends.
Easter service always begins with a procession of the cross at midnight, accompanied by prayer singing in honor of the holiday. On this day, everyone can ring the church bell in honor of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After the silence of the bell towers on passionate days, the gospel sounds especially solemn and melodious, announcing the victory of life over death.
The beginning and course of Great Lent in 2016
Our Savior Jesus Christ Himself was tempted by the devil for forty days. All this time he was not allowed to eat, and he did not eat any food. Therefore, the essence of Great Lent is the memories of the life of Christ on our sinful land, of his painful death.
After the Nativity of Christ, it is allowed to eat any food. But, as in previous years, fasting before Easter 2016 begins after the preparatory week (Pancake Week or Meat Pastry), during which the ban on meat consumption is already in effect. Due to the fact that entering into fasting is gradual, it is not very difficult for those who will fast for the first time. 
Preparation for the most basic fast in Christianity begins four weeks before its onset. Fasting itself lasts for six weeks, called weeks. All of them have their own specific name in accordance with the serial number (first, second, etc.). You cannot eat certain foods in each of them. The first and last weeks are considered the most severe weeks of Great Lent. It was at this time that the fast was greatly strengthened.
While the weeks of Great Lent last, and until its very end, it is necessary not only to establish bans on the use of food and not eat much of what we are accustomed to, but also to pray according to church rules, preparing ourselves for repentance. Without prayer and confession - it will be just diet time.
Looking at the calendar, you can see that Lent in 2016 will begin on March 14th. In addition to half of March this year, it will cover all of April. So it will be possible to enjoy something tasty only with the onset May holidays, which falls on the bright holiday of Easter in 2016.
For easier orientation and perception, you can draw up a food calendar for Great Lent.
Many people have a desire to fast for the health benefits. At the same time, for those new to this business, the problem immediately arises of not knowing what can be eaten during Great Lent and what is not? But here we must not forget that fasting without prayer and good deeds will always be a semblance of a diet. There will undoubtedly be health benefits, but nothing will happen for the spiritual renewal.
At first glance, it always seems to uninitiated people that it is very, very easy to observe the rules of Great Lent. It would seem that it is difficult there - not to eat meat, fish and dairy products, vegetable oil, and that's it. But in fact, the list of things to eat during Lent is quite extensive. But finding out what to eat is quite simple: just carefully read the composition of the product. Even chewing gum is banned, since it contains gelatin - a substance of animal origin. 
The use of salted, pickled and pickled vegetables, juices, compotes, fruit and berry jams and preserves quite well brightens up a meager lean table. Also on such days, mushrooms are welcomed. Greens in combination with all kinds of seasonings will give lean dishes a richer taste.
But, in spite of the severity of the process, indulgences are possible in nutrition during the days of Great Lent. So pregnant women, nursing mothers and sick people, whose treatment requires eating certain foods, may not fast as strictly. On Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on the days of remembrance of the saints, they are allowed to eat vegetable oil and wine (except for the last week). On big days church holidays cook fish dishes.
Especially for those who first decided to fast, and for those who do not have a very deep knowledge of all the intricacies of nutrition these days, food calendars were invented during Great Lent. They disclose information about lean nutrition in sufficient detail. Therefore, with such a “helper”, fasting in accordance with all the established rules will not be difficult.
Now everything will directly depend on the endurance of the person.
For many, it seems that the choice for preparing a lean dish is a rather complicated process. But in fact, there are a lot of recipes for cooking lean food. To make a definition with a choice lean dishes was not a painful process for you, you can independently compose a daily menu during the weeks of Great Lent. For a good housewife, making a varied, tasty and healthy lean food for every day will not be a problem.
What date will Christians celebrate Catholic Easter 2016?
The dates of Catholic and Orthodox Easter usually do not coincide. This disagreement arises due to the fact that Catholics count the days in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Most often, the celebration of Catholic Easter is a week ahead of Orthodox. But there are years when this holiday falls on the same day for everyone.
At the same time, differences exist not only in numbers, but also in traditions. 
The festive service among Catholics is called Mass, where Easter candles are lit after sunset. In the morning, after Mass, believers visit the homes of relatives and friends with the singing of festive songs, which are very similar to Orthodox Christmas carols. You can not only exchange colored eggs, but also exchange palm branches for them.
Among Catholics, a rabbit is considered a symbol of the holiday of the Bright Resurrection of Christ. There is even a belief that it is he who carries the Easter eggs. On this day, sculptures and images of a rabbit decorate everything around. Many Western housewives even bake cookies in the shape of this glorious animal.
By the way, Catholic Easter in 2016 falls on April 27, which is seven days earlier than Orthodox. It is a pity that the celebration did not take place on one day. One could observe gorgeous celebrations in all countries of our planet.
Easter cake recipes and a festive table
In order to know how to compose the menu for Easter 2016 in accordance with all traditions, you need to follow some established rules.
