The Nativity Fast starts today for the Orthobros, no meat, no dairy, no eggs, and on certain days no oil, wine or fish until Christmas. Please post recipes that meet these criteria.

I made a vegetable biryami once when I was doing the Daniel Diet. It's an Indian dish which is basically rice and vegetables. Some recipes may call for yogurt or other dairy products but you can just opt out of them

Obviously these obscure rules were not invented by man. They clearly show evidence of a divine hand..

just start over and read your bible, that 2nd part is more important btw

[Anonymous No.19905656]

Is it really that time already? Shit.
My Gran did all the fasts and blah blah blah but I've never.
Also, for recipes, bisques can be nice, even if you swap margarine for butter. My grandmother considered that cheating since it invalidates the spirit of the fast if you just look for loopholes. It's a time to contemplate Christ, she used to say, and looking for loopholes implies you're more fixated on the world than the spirit

>>19904924
Most borscht has meat or dairy or eggs, sometimes more than one of those two.

i believe in Christ but im not baptized in an orthodox church, do i still have to do this?

No, orthodoxy is just an elaborate LARP

[Anonymous No.19906295]

Going to have some steamed mussels tonight. I keep to the fasting rules pretty strictly, but I lean heavily on shellfish and shrimp for protein, which sort of feels like cheating because they're so tasty. At least I live on the coast so seafood is easy to get. The Nativity Fast has a lot of fish days which doesn't even feel like fasting. Will probably make a big batch of carrot/lentil soup next week. If anyone has good lentil recipes, please share

that basically ruins thanksgiving...

Personally I'll not be fasting, but let's see... No oil?? So no peanut butter...

no eggs... so basically all baked good are out of the question...

no meat, so you'll need protein...fish... no fish sometimes...Shellfish isn't fish, but then, fish is meat... Bit backwards, this rule... fish and meat are the same thing. If shellfish is allowed then I'd be having lots of oysters. obviously oysters is meat as well...

Salads? Corn on the cob would be annoying without butter, but.. oh well.

salad dressing of vinegar and... not oil... hmm...

Damn... You know what? Fuck it.

Someone go buy a fuckton of Guiness. Its a beer fast.

You still celebrate all holidays and eat normally on Sundays for all Orthodox fasts

[Anonymous No.19907213]

>>19906928
Oh, I can manage it just fine... you're looking at a diet of fruit and vegetables.

You can't have avocados or nuts, though because they're packed full of oils, so I already hate the diet/fast. Basically anything with any flavor goes out the window next... leaving you with steamed veggies and fruits. Going into the winter times, this fast traditionally would be... what, we're just eating potatoes and no gravy for the next month? Maybe you had a bit of dried fruit stored. That would absolutely suck. No thank you.

[Anonymous No.19907220]

Oh...well then its not actually a fast. What's the point at that point?

You will connect with your fellow man, and possibly God
I did a Black Fast once, you're only supposed to do them once or twice in your life
You give up food for Lent
You are allowed salt, vinegar, and one cup of cooked grains Monday through Saturday
It's not possible to stock up on a weeks' calories on Sunday even though you are allowed three regular meals, and besides, your stomach shrinks, and you can't eat much anyway

[Anonymous No.19907317]

Yes you do. Harming yourself on holidays and Sundays disrespects God's creation: (You)

No meat, no dairy, no eggs

Oreos

No wine/beer? Just smoke some weed, it's all munchies food anyway.

>No dairy
What's the trick to this? I eat cheese with a bunch of my meals, and have yogurt for breakfast every day.
Are any good substitutes out there?

[Anonymous No.19910488]

>>19910480
Options are:
>skip breakfast
>just coffee (what I do)
>oatmeal
There are no other possible choices to make in this scenario.

[Anonymous No.19910555]

>>19910488
Grim choices, especially since I don't drink coffee. Maybe having some fruit could work, but that tends not to hold you until lunch.

Orthodox in America are given a dispensation for Thanksgiving. You can skip the fast for that day.

Jesus personally taught that salvation is by faith alone in John 3:16. Orthodox priests and other fake Christians that preached the works based salvation (false gospel) are all cursed by God and they cannot be saved from hell fire.
