The Lent of Easter 2026, which commemorates the fast of Jesus Christ, is a period dedicated to prayer, confession, and good deeds. During this time, church services, such as the Great Canon and the Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts, become central in liturgical life. Additionally, fasting is not limited to dietary restrictions but involves a transformation of behavior and interpersonal relationships.

On March 25, 2026, the Annunciation is celebrated, an important moment in the Orthodox calendar, when the consumption of fish is allowed. On April 5, 2026, Palm Sunday marks the last Sunday of Lent, with a dispensation for fish. In rural areas, traditional customs are preserved, and households organize to participate in services, avoiding celebrations.

Fasting is associated with fasting foods, based on vegetables and grains, reflecting modesty and temperance. Even in modern society, the Lent of Easter remains a time for reflection and reconnection with traditional values, encouraging solidarity with those in need.
