Hello!


New week, new episode for you!


We are soon approaching the period that is in Greek Orthodox (and not only) Church the Big Lent! Forty days of fasting before the Holy Week (more and severe fasting here!) and Easter Sunday.


The abstinence of meat and dairy products it's something that the first monks practised; some of them for many years. Slowly, gradually these solemn personal "traditions" of how to step closer to God, Jesus, or saintliness, passed down to the canon of the Church and many monasteries all over the Christian world followed some sort of fasting rules throughout the year. Some with more rigour and fanatical devotion to meagre portions of food than others. So the question I had all this time in my mind was "what did the monks eat throughout the year and where they've found their produce?"


Let's explore all this and more on today's episode!


Also, this week's recommendations:
