Chododometsa ndi chakuti mu positi anthu akuyang'ana masitolo "oonda" m'malo mwa nyama zopangira nyama (zopweteka zopweteka ndi zinthu). Kuvulaza kugwiritsira ntchito zinthu zoterezi sikungokhala kusala kudya ndipo palibe chomwe munganene. Ena samayesetsa kusiya makhalidwe oipa, omwe, mwa njira, amachititsa kuti asakhale ndi chibwenzi, musayese kukondana. Ena sadzikana okha kukhala okondwa kupita ku zosangalatsa, mmalo mopereka nthawi paulendo, komanso madyerero (a ukwati ndi masiku okumbukira), pamene maukwati sakondwerera kudya (Orthodox panthawi yozizira sizinapangidwe korona) . Zakudya zowonongeka pa nthawi ya kudya kwa Orthodox sizingapereke zotsatira popanda ntchito yayikulu yauzimu, popanda kupita ku tchalitchi cha parish, popanda kuvomereza machimo komanso popanda kuvomereza Zinsinsi za Khristu.
Choyamba, tiyeni tiwone masiku angati ofulumira mu kalendala ya Orthodox. Tchalitchi cha Orthodox chinakhazikitsa chakudya chamadzulo chambiri patsiku, kusinthana ndi odya nyama. Lenti Lalikulu ilo limatenga masabata asanu ndi awiri, kapena masabata angapo, kuyambira pa Chiwukitsiro Chokhululukidwa ndi kutha pa Pasaka Yoyera ya Khristu. Kusala kudya kwakukulu kukuikidwa mu kukumbukira zochitika za Uthenga Wabwino - Khristu mwiniyo adadya masiku makumi anayi m'chipululu (miyezi inayi ya milungu isanu ndi umodzi) kuphatikizapo sabata yokhumba. Petrov mofulumira kulemekeza atumwi oyera, akuyamba tsiku la Utatu Woyera (pambuyo pa masiku makumi asanu pambuyo pa kuuka kwa Khristu) ndipo amathera ndi phwando la Atumwi Oyera Petro ndi Paulo, akukondwerera pa July 12. Phukusi lachidziwitso limatenga milungu iwiri kuyambira pa 14 mpaka 27 August isanayambe phwando lachidziwitso (imfa) ya Our Lady. Ndipo, potsiriza, kuthamanga kwa Khirisimasi, kuyambira pa November 28, kudutsa masiku makumi anayi chisanafike tchuthi la kubadwa kwa Khristu.
Kuwonjezera pa masiku ambiri a kusala kudya, Orthodox imasunga tsiku ndi tsiku, tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu losala kudya tsiku Lachitatu ndi Lachisanu pokumbukira kusakhulupirika kwa Yuda (Lachitatu) ndi kupachikidwa pa mtanda wa Khristu (Lachisanu) (pali zosiyana - mwachitsanzo, palibe posts mu Sabata Yoyera), kusala kwa Eucharisti.
Kulemera kwazithunzi kumasiyana. Cholimba kwambiri ndi Lent Great, kukopa kwa izo kumayambira masabata atatu isanayambe, mankhwala a chiyambi ndi vinyo amachotsedwa pang'onopang'ono kuchokera ku zakudya. Chovuta kwambiri ndi sabata yoyamba ya positi ndi Sabata Lopatulika Pasanafike Paskha wa Khristu. Mu masiku atatu oyambirira malamulo amdziko amadziletsa kudziletsa kwathunthu ndi chakudya ndi madzi kupatula kugwiritsa ntchito prosphora ndi madzi oyera m'mawa opanda chopanda kanthu. Kuwonjezera mwatsatanetsatane molingana ndi lamuloli: Lolemba, Lachitatu ndi Lachisanu wouma kudya (ndiwo zamasamba, zipatso, mkate), Lachiwiri ndi Lachinayi - Zakudya zopanda mafuta, Loweruka ndi Lamlungu - Zakudya za mafuta ndi mafuta. Mu Loweruka la Lazarev, sabata lisanafike la Vai (pamaso pa Palm Sunday sabata isanafike Pasitala), pokumbukira chiukitsiro cha Khristu kwa bwenzi lake Lazar, kusala kudya kumasuka - kumaloledwa kudya nsomba ndi kumwa vinyo. Kuwonetsa zolemba izi pamsonkhano wachisilamu, popanda kugwiritsira ntchito mankhwala ololedwa, kumatsimikizira kuchepetsa kuchepa popanda zotsatira zoipa.
Mwa kuuma kwa Great Dormition mofulumira, koma zilembo Petrov ndi Rozhdestvensky zochepa zofooka. Zozizwitsa zimakhazikitsidwa Lachitatu ndi Lachisanu. Lolemba, chakudya chopanda mafuta chimagwiritsidwa ntchito. Lachiwiri ndi Lachinayi mu nsomba za Petrov mwamsanga zimaloledwa, ku Rozhdestvensky (imatchedwanso Filippov positi) - nsomba zikhoza kudyedwa Lachiwiri ndi Lachinayi pokhapokha sabata yoyamba, ndipo patsikuli akulamulidwa kugwiritsa ntchito chakudya chowotcha ndi mafuta. Loweruka ndi Lamlungu, nsomba zimaloledwa kupatula sabata latha kusanachitike Khirisimasi. Pa nthawi ya kudya kwa Orthodox, chiwerengero cha chakudya chikuchepa. Malingana ndi malamulo amdziko, chakudya chamadzulo chimadzaikidwa masiku onse a sabata, Loweruka, Lamlungu ndi maholide - masana ndi chakudya chamadzulo.
Zonsezi sizikutanthauza kuti panyumba mudzadya mwatsatanetsatane. Choyamba, kupuma kwachisangalalo kumalimbikitsidwa kwa amayi omwe ali ndi pakati ndi omwe akulera, kwa anthu omwe ali pantchito yolemetsa komanso kwa odwala. Chachiwiri, kuuma kwachangu kumakambidwa ndi wansembe kapena bambo wauzimu, amasankha zomwe zingatheke ndi zomwe siziloledwa. Mwinamwake, dalitsani kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta pamalo otchuka, omwe ndi zosangalatsa zofunika.
Ndatulukira kale ndikupitiriza kunena kuti kudya kwa Orthodox si chakudya cha kulemera konse, koma, motsatira kusala kudya, mudzakumananso ndi zotsatira. Kusankha mosamala chakudya ndi kudziletsa kumathandiza munthu kuti azikhazika pansi maganizo ake, kugonjetsa thupi lake ndi kupereka ufulu kwa kulingalira. Kusala popanda pemphero, popanda kuphunzira Malemba Opatulika, opanda ntchito ya uzimu - sikuimira chirichonse. Posala kudya muyenera kupita kukachisi nthawi zambiri (Lamlungu lililonse ndilofunika), kuvomereza, kulandira mgonero, kuchotsa zizoloŵezi zoipa, kukhala okoma mtima. Zimalangizidwa kutumizira ku nyumba ya amonke monga mlendo, kukagwira ntchito ku ulemerero wa Mulungu.
