New Book by Fr. Ivan Shandra in English released on May 4th, 2026.
"From ‘The’ to ‘Now’: God’s Providance in Action".

It is an invitation to trust, to see your life, your struggles, and your story within the greater story of God’s saving love. The book offers a clear, accessible introduction to the Orthodox Christian understanding of God’s loving guidance. Written from a pastoral and catechetical perspective, this book invites readers to rediscover providence not as fate, control, or distant oversight, but as the steady, patient work of a Father who leads His creation toward communion with Himself. You are not moving through history alone. You are being led.

The Apostles” Feast, also widely as Petrovsky Post or Peter’s Feast, established in honour of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul.
The fast commemorates how the Apostles prepared for their missionary work by dedicating themselves to prayer and fasting after the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. It is observed as a time for the faithful to renew their devotion to the Church, repent, and seek spiritual growth.

Compared to Great Lent, the Apostles’ Fast is generally more lenient. While specific practices can vary based on local traditions (e.g., Russian, Greek, or Antiochian), the standard guidelines generally include:
What to Avoid: Believers traditionally abstain from meat, dairy products, and eggs.
Fish, Wine, and Oil: Allowed on most days of the week, though Tuesday and Thursday rules often restrict these depending on the jurisdiction.
Wednesdays and Fridays: Observed with stricter fasting, abstaining from fish, and sometimes from oil and wine altogether.

Have a blessing Feast! 🌿
