Each week of Lent and each day of fasting is dedicated to a specific event or saint and has its own spiritual meaning, its own spiritual orientation. Great Lent for a person living a church life is a path of transformation of the human soul. In accordance with this, the structure of the book “Reading for Every Day of Lent” was built, describing each day of Lent separately, and covering the entire period of Lent, starting from its preparatory weeks until the feast of feasts - Holy Easter.
