On Easter, dying eggs, fasting and "breaking" of eggs is performed

2017-04-11 16:12:52 UTC  

and abstinence from all work on Good Friday

2017-04-11 16:12:59 UTC  

I'm unsure

2017-04-11 16:13:08 UTC  

how closely is this adhered to

2017-04-11 16:13:09 UTC  

of general population, notm any perform the entire fast

2017-04-11 16:13:12 UTC  

Good Friday, not working

2017-04-11 16:13:13 UTC  

of pious, many do

2017-04-11 16:13:25 UTC  

nobody does anything on good friday

2017-04-11 16:13:26 UTC  

any length of the fast

2017-04-11 16:13:32 UTC  

would count

2017-04-11 16:13:35 UTC  

towards the figure

2017-04-11 16:13:45 UTC  

both fastings last 40 days

2017-04-11 16:14:01 UTC  

if someone even makes the intention to fast but doesn't do a single day

2017-04-11 16:14:05 UTC  

I'm inclined to ask you to consider that too

2017-04-11 16:14:08 UTC  

but may not be reasonable

2017-04-11 16:14:20 UTC  

10% of adults?

2017-04-11 16:14:23 UTC  

the rule is no meat or dairy, more strict rules which monks adhere to include no oil on certain days, and no meat whatsoever on certain days, including fish

2017-04-11 16:14:38 UTC  

90% of people skipping meat for a day?

2017-04-11 16:14:56 UTC  

mostof people will do the so called "small fast" of fasting for only 1 single day

2017-04-11 16:15:01 UTC  

christmass eve and good firday

2017-04-11 16:15:07 UTC  

if you openly don't do it

2017-04-11 16:15:15 UTC  

what would be the reaction of most people

2017-04-11 16:15:19 UTC  

but that practice is completely unfounded in church practice

2017-04-11 16:15:24 UTC  

they wouldn't care

2017-04-11 16:15:54 UTC  

thanks

I very quickly distanced myself from Serbian approach to Orthodoxy due to a huge influx of subversive ideas and personalities

2017-04-11 16:16:46 UTC  

Though at times, it is the only bullwark against reccurence of bolshevik ideas

2017-04-11 16:17:10 UTC  

All Churchiness is prone to attracting obscure people with no qualities who use it to get a platform to educate others

2017-04-11 16:17:37 UTC  

Also, among certain Orthodox believers are many adherents of this Eastern styled mysticism which I dislike

2017-04-11 16:17:55 UTC  

what do you mean Eastern styled

2017-04-11 16:17:59 UTC  

Montenegrins in general have a very peculiar approach towards religion

2017-04-11 16:18:15 UTC  

oh, it's not Montenegros

2017-04-11 16:18:18 UTC  

boo

2017-04-11 16:18:34 UTC  

They are at soul secular and completely untameable by strict religious discipline, especially monkish meekness

2017-04-11 16:18:51 UTC  

in Serbia, there are much more religious zealots

2017-04-11 16:19:09 UTC  

do you feel a connection to Serbia

2017-04-11 16:19:14 UTC  

Yes

2017-04-11 16:19:31 UTC  

Serbs have strong regional differences

2017-04-11 16:20:01 UTC  

Montenegrins by far stand out as being the most distinct, and by that I mean even those who declare as Serbs

2017-04-11 16:20:43 UTC  

Is an ethnically Serbian Montenegrin that doesn't speak Serbian a phenomenon?

2017-04-11 16:20:48 UTC  

a rarity? a nonentity?
