Compared to the other fasting periods of the year, Great Lent has a much stronger presence, liturgically with its extra services and hymnography, but also with its severity.  It was never prescribed biblically to Christians, so how did the Lenten practice form?  Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri discuss this and also connect how the pandemic has thrust all of us into an experience quite akin to the "wilderness" of Lent.

In our fourth season, Fr Yuri and Fr Geoffrey are releasing episodes on a variety of topics that were previously only available to our patrons.  If you like what you hear, and would like access to much more - including monthly livestreams - please consider supporting our project by heading to patreon.com/enactingthekingdom and choosing a tier of support.  We would love to have you join our growing community.
