Great Monday, part of the Holy Week of the Passion, is a day with profound significance in Christianity, marked on April 7 in the Orthodox calendar. This day is dedicated to the reading of the Parable of the Ten Virgins, which emphasizes the importance of preparation for the Last Judgment. In popular tradition, housewives clean for Easter, and the day is also known as Dry Monday, being the last day when work can be done in the fields. The Parable of the Ten Virgins illustrates the difference between the wise and foolish virgins, highlighting the necessity of charity alongside virtue. The service on Great Monday urges us to constant preparation and good deeds, essential to be alongside Christ. Holy Week, which includes other important days such as Palm Sunday, Great Monday, and Great Thursday, is a period of humility and spiritual cleansing, culminating in the celebration of the Resurrection.
