Happy Cheesefare (Gregorian calendar) to all of you! Hoping we all have a fruitful Great Lent!

And now I’m off to my annual Cheesefare fondue dinner 😋

A little late, but still kind of funny!
 
Is Cheesefare Sunday also when Forgiveness Vespers is held? I’m not Eastern Catholic or Orthodox, but I’ve always thought it is a lovely tradition.
 
Yes Forgiveness Vespers is held in the evening and that’s technically when Lent begins…although I opt to follow the midnight to midnight time lol

We did Forgiveness Vespers yesterday. We asked for forgivness from each other after a bow, and each said: My God forgive you.
 
We did the Forgiveness Service during Liturgy since our parish doesn’t have Lenten Vespers. However, we DO have Presanctified Liturgy. ❤️
 
This is the Feb. 23, 2014 issue of The Way, the official newspaper of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia:


I couldn’t figure out how to attach/upload it so I had to post it as a link.

It has the Forgiveness Service in it but you have to scroll to see it.
 
We actually have to wait until this coming Sunday to do it b/c our priest needed to leave right after Liturgy this past Sunday.
 
Better late than never. 😉 Besides, it’s Cheesefare Sunday on the Julian calendar. (True trivia tidbit: There are some UGCC parishes that follow the Julian calendar!)

We have two UGCC parishes in my city. One is on Gregorian and the other is on Julian.
 
I would venture to say that most UGCC parishes are Julian…it’s just here in the USA (and possibly Canada?) that the majority are on the Gregorian calendar. I think I know of only 1 parish in our Eparchy that is Julian (old Julian, not Revised).

IMHO the Calendar problem is a sore spot for me…Honestly why do they insist on clinging to a REALLY inaccurate calendar? (as opposed to the Gregorian which is only SLIGHTLY inaccurate! haha 🙂 🤣 )
 
I’m in the Archeparchy of Philadelphia. Which Eparchy are you in? I forgot.
 
Are you in the Archeparchy of Philadelphia too? I think we have 1 parish that is on the Julian calendar.
 
I’m in the Eparchy of St. Nicholas in Chicago. Is that under the archeparchy or not?..I’m not sure of the hierarchy anymore lol!

When Lent is over, know that Ohio was recently voted as having the best cheese in the nation (take that, Wisconsin!). Something to keep in mind.
