i subscribed to orthodox theology, monarchism and worldview at one point in the past, briefly

2017-04-11 16:08:52 UTC  

a lot of gay mystical nazis approach religion from a sensual or pragmatic perspective

2017-04-11 16:08:55 UTC  

but at that time i was leaning more towards greek understanding of orthodoxy, and evne russian to an extent, than to Serbian

2017-04-11 16:09:13 UTC  

Serbian orthodox Christians are mostly fervently anti-Catholic, while I was not as much

2017-04-11 16:09:55 UTC  

Catholicism is to an extent, considered a mortal enemy of Serbs, and Vatican is seen as a main culprit of crimes against Serbs done by Catholics, even more than the people themselves

2017-04-11 16:10:35 UTC  

what's the most major religious festival

2017-04-11 16:10:47 UTC  

Christmass and Easter among Christians

2017-04-11 16:10:57 UTC  

how are both celebrated, briefly

2017-04-11 16:11:05 UTC  

is there any contrast to western europe/america

2017-04-11 16:11:32 UTC  

Christmass by fasting and burning of those great bonfires on the christmass eve

2017-04-11 16:11:44 UTC  

how many people would fast

2017-04-11 16:11:46 UTC  

and by traditional lunches and religious services on christmass day itself

2017-04-11 16:11:49 UTC  

depends

2017-04-11 16:12:12 UTC  

full fasting would often be performed by not especially pious people due to health benefits

2017-04-11 16:12:23 UTC  

if you had to just throw a %age out

2017-04-11 16:12:37 UTC  

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?
