Christ is risen!!!
As we are approaching the end of bright week I can't help but think that the calendar now says to relax the Wednesday & Friday fasts to allow "oil".
I understand that this is because of the forty days etc though I have met different clergy over the years and some say its all good whilst others say that, no the strictness should not be relaxed as that is a later modification and the ancient tradition is not to do so
Can I have some feedback on this from forums participants?
Thanks
