Ukushaqeka futhi iqiniso lokuthi ekuthumeni abantu bafuna izitolo ezinkulu "ezixhomekile" esikhundleni somkhiqizo wemikhiqizo (isoseji enomzimba nezinto). Umonakalo wokusebenzisa imikhiqizo enjalo akuyona ngisho nokuzila ukudla futhi akukho lutho olungakusho. Abanye abazami ukuyeka imikhuba emibi, okuyiyona ndlela eyenza ukukhukhumeza, ungazami ukuyeka ukusondelana komshado. Abanye abaziphili ukuzijabulisa kokuya ezokungcebeleka, kunokuba banikeze isikhathi sokuhamba ngezinyawo, kanye nemikhosi (emishadweni namalanga okuzalwa), ngenkathi imishado ingagubhi ngokuzila ukudla (i-Orthodox ngesikhathi sokudla okungajwayelekile) . Ukudla kokunciphisa umzimba ngesikhathi sokuzila ukudla kwe-Orthodox ngeke kuveze imiphumela ngaphandle komsebenzi ojulile ongokomoya, ngaphandle kokuvakashela njalo esontweni, ngaphandle kokuvuma izono futhi ngaphandle kokwamukelwa kweMfihlakalo kaKristu Ongcwele.
Okokuqala, ake sibone ukuthi zingaki izinsuku ezinzima ekhalenda lama-Orthodox. ISonto Lama-Orthodox lasungula ukudla okunezinsuku ezine phakathi nonyaka, ukushintshaniswa nabantu abadla inyama. Leli Lent Great ligcina amasonto ayisikhombisa, noma amaviki ambalwa, ukuqala ekuvusweni okuthethelelwe futhi ukuphela ku-Easter Bright of Christ. Ukushesha okukhulu kufakwe ememori yezehlakalo zeVangeli - uKristu ngokwakhe uzila ukudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane ehlane (isikhathi seminyaka emine amasonto ayisithupha) kanye nesonto elivusa amadlingozi. UPetrov uzinikela ngokuhlonipha abaphostoli abangcwele, uqala ngosuku loZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele (emva kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amahlanu emva kokuvuswa kukaKristu) futhi iphetha ngomkhosi wabaPhristi AbaNgcwele uPetru noPawulu, bagubha ngoJulayi 12. I-Assumption Post ihlala amasonto amabili kusukela ngo-Agasti 14 kuya ku-27 ngaphambi komkhosi we-Assumption (ukufa) ka-Our Lady. Futhi, ekugcineni, ukushesha kukaKhisimusi, kusukela ngoNovemba 28, izinsuku ezingamashumi amane ngaphambi kweholidi lokuzalwa kukaKristu.
Ngaphandle kwezinsuku eziningi zokuzila ukudla, ama-Orthodox agcina usuku nosuku, ukuzila ukudla kwezinsuku eziyisihlanu kanye nokuLwesihlanu ekukhunjweni kokungcwatshwa kukaJuda (ngoLwesithathu) nokubethelwa esiphambanweni sikaKristu (ngoLwesihlanu) (kukhona okuhlukile - isibonelo, akukho okuthunyelwe kwiviki elikhanyayo), ukugcoba kwama-Eucharistic.
Ubukhulu bokuthunyelwe buhlukile. Okuqine kakhulu yiLente Elikhulu, ukugqugquzelwa kuyo kuqala amasonto amathathu ngaphambi kokuqala kwayo, imikhiqizo yezilwane ezivela emlonyeni kanye newayini kancane kancane isuswa ekudleni. Okunezintambo kakhulu yiviki lokuqala laleli posi kanye neviki elingcwele ngaphambi kwePhasika likaKristu. Ezinsukwini ezintathu zokuqala iziqondiso ze-monastic zibeka ukuzithiba okuphelele kokudla namanzi ngaphandle kokusetshenziswa kwe-prosphora namanzi angcwele ekuseni ngesisu esingenalutho. Ngokushesha okusheshayo ngokusho komthetho jikelele: ngoMsombuluko, ngoLwesithathu nangoLwesihlanu ukudla okunomile (imifino, izithelo, isinkwa), ngoLwesibili nangoLwesine - ukudla okushisayo ngaphandle kwebhotela, ngoMgqibelo nangeSonto - ukudla okushisayo ngamafutha. NgoMgqibelo waseLazarev, ngaphambi kweSonto leVai (ngaphambi kweSonto lePalm ngeviki ngaphambi kwePhasika), ekukhunjweni kokuvuka kukaKristu komngane wakhe uLaris, ukuzila ukudla kukhululekile - kuvunyelwe ukuba udle izinhlanzi futhi uphuze iwayini. Ukugcinwa kwalokhu okuthunyelwe kwi-charter monastic, ngaphandle kokuhlukunyezwa kwemikhiqizo evunyelwe, kuqinisekisa ukuthi kunciphisa isisindo ngaphandle kwemiphumela engathandeki.
Ngokuqinela kwi-Great Dormition ngokushesha, kodwa izikhala zikaPetrov noRozhdestvensky zibuthakathaka kancane. Ukungaqondakali kuyasungulwa ngoLwesithathu nangoLwesihlanu kuphela. NgoMsombuluko, kusetshenziswe ukudla okushisayo ngaphandle kwamafutha. NgoLwesine nangoLwesine ePitov ukudoba okusheshayo kuvunyelwe, eRozhdestvensky (kuthiwa yiPhilippov's post) - inhlanzi ingadliwa ngoLwesibili nangoLwesine kuphela ngesonto lokuqala, ngakho-ke kulezi zinsuku kunqunywe ukusetshenziswa kokushisa ngamafutha. NgoMgqibelo nangeSonto, izinhlanzi zivunyelwe ngaphandle kweviki eledlule ngaphambi kukaKhisimusi. Ngesikhathi sokuzila ukudla kwe-Orthodox, inani lokudla liyancipha. Ngokwezimiso ze-monastic, i-dinner eyodwa igcwele zonke izinsuku zeviki, ngoMgqibelo, ngeSonto namaholide - isidlo sakusihlwa kanye nesidlo sakusihlwa.
Konke lokhu okungenhla akusho ukuthi ekhaya uzozila ukudlala emkhakheni onjalo. Okokuqala, ukuphumula kokuzila kunconywa abesifazane abakhulelwe nabancenga, kubantu abasebenza emsebenzini okhuthele nabagulayo. Okwesibili, ukukhathazeka kokuzila kuxoxwa nompristi noma ubaba ongokomoya, unquma ukuthi yini okungenzeka futhi engavumelekile. Mhlawumbe, isibonelo, ubusise ukusetshenziswa kwamafutha endaweni enkulu, okuyinto yokuphumula okubalulekile.
Ngiye ngiphawula futhi ngiphinda ukuthi ukushesha kwama-Orthodox akuyona isidlo sokulahlekelwa isisindo nhlobo, kodwa, ngokulandela okusheshayo, uzobe uthole umphumela oyifunayo. Ukukhethwa ngokucophelela kokudla nokuzigwema kuzo kusiza umuntu ukuba avuselele izinkanuko zakhe, anqobe inyama yakhe futhi anikeze ngokukhululekile ukucabanga. Ukuzila ukudla ngaphandle kokuthandaza, ngaphandle kokutadisha imiBhalo Engcwele, ngaphandle kokusebenza okungokomoya - akumeli lutho. Ekuzila ukudla udinga ukuvakashela ethempelini kaningi (njalo ngeSonto kuyadingeka), vuma, thola inhlanganyelo, ulahle imikhuba emibi, ube nomusa. Kunconywa ukuthumela kwelinye lezindela njengezihambi, ukusebenzela iNkazimulo kaNkulunkulu.
