Rogation of the Ninevites

[ByzCathCantor]

These pictures are gorgeous! And the symbolism behind the ritual- absolutely beautiful! I know it is supposed to be for a fast, but it honestly looks like a lot of fun!

They are indeed beautiful, and provide a great example of “joyous fasting”!

What is this “joyous fasting” you speak of?!

No Idea

Well then, the obvious answer is to take a trip there!

As our friend Diak shared, for those of us in the Byzantine traditions, this is a fast-free week. However, your witness from the Chaldean church reminds us all very clearly that we’ll be joining you in fervent fasting and prayer very soon!

For those of us in the UGCC on the Julian Calendar, our fast-free week after the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee is next week. But coming soon nonetheless.
