Orthodox dates are important milestones indicating changes of year periods, seasons, year rhythms and important events in human life — birth, christening, name day, wedding… Calendar holidays since Russia Christening are devoted to the most important events of New Testament and in the memory of Saints — Christmas, Christmas-tide, Epiphany, Easter, the Saviour and others. Recipes of the dishes traditionally served in these days are supplied with historical comments and guidelines on Orthodox food and Lent rules.
