The first Saturday of the Souls of the Great Lent is a special day of remembrance of the departed. It is celebrated by the Orthodox Church on Saturday, March 27, 2021.

According to the Charter of the Church, a special commemoration of the departed in churches takes place on the second, third and fourth Saturdays of Great Lent.

During these three days, the Orthodox Church once again calls on all believers to pray earnestly for their departed parents, relatives and loved ones.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
