Bright Week
In the Orthodox church the week after Pascha is set aside as Bright Week. The Paschal joy continues and no fasting is permitted. Last week I asked the kids what foods they wanted to celebrate with. The call went up for Bacon Pizza, Hot dogs and hamburgers, and Chinese. Not exactly home cookin' but it does get me off the hook. I heard from my daughter that one family at church was having their favorite food flown in from out of state... now that's some serious fast-breaking! After Bright Monday services yesterday, some of us were saying we were going to have church withdraw. We've gone from a few services a week, to once a day, to twice a day and now we won't have anything until Sat. evening Vespers. I will miss the services but it is good to be home in the evenings again. Hubby is also happy to have his family back.
Father Stephen has some very touching thoughts concerning Bright Week and the death of a friend titled: And Into the Brightness.
Enjoy. |
