Priest Georgy Firsov
Just fifty years ago, these things weren’t even said out loud—it was simply understood by all that you do not abandon your wife and children. Yes, there were divorces, but not in these numbers. It used to be shameful to divorce. But today? There’s no shame—on the contrary, it’s often celebrated.
Archpriest Alexander Nikolsky
What food restrictions should you impose on yourself if you are on vacation during a fast? Do you have to keep a fast if you get sick? Should you ask for the priest’s blessing for relaxations during the fast if you have chronic diseases?
We spoke with Priest Georgy Firsov, a cleric of the Church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos in Veshnyaki (Moscow) about the secret of a happy marriage.

Priest Alexei Tverdov
On the Saturday before Meatfare Sunday the Church prays for those who have already passed away, for whom the particular judgment has already taken place, and who can’t change anything for themselves. But our prayer can change something for them.
Natalia Ryazantseva
Our fasting must become a sacrifice to God. But what lies behind these words?
