The fourth week of Great Lent in 2025 falls on March 24-30. This time is dedicated to the memory of St. John Climacus. During this period, believers go deep into the study of his works, take part in special liturgies and follow the strict rules of fasting. What awaits this week, what holidays are celebrated and how to follow the post? What is the fourth week of the great work of the Monk John Climacus, the hegumen of the Sinai Chertelnaya week of the Great Lent is dedicated to the memory of St. John the Lyniad. John Climacus is called Sinai in the place of his life. The ladder-because of his book about the spiritual ladder. Many about his life is unknown, since John Cloby spent most of his earthly time in solitude. At about 17, he climbed the Sinai Mountain, where he accepted the monastic tonsure and became a student of the elder Martiria. At that time, the Sinai mountain was already a refuge for pilgrims and hermits – during the time of John Lesser of salvation there were searched for several dozen monks. After the death of his confessor, John went into the Fola valley, where he spent 40 years in hermit. Here he accepted the feat of silence, constantly prayed and strictly fasted. He was sleeping, only in order not to lose his mind, he devoted some of his time to work in the garden, but most of all he devoted himself to literary work. The composition of John Cloby called the “ladder”, and its heads “degrees”, that is, steps. The book is divided into 30 “degrees” – in terms of the number of years of the life of Jesus Christ to Baptism and the beginning of preaching. The first 23 “degrees” are dedicated to sins, the remaining seven – virtues. The book begins with the topic of renunciation and evasion from worldly life as a natural for the sake of monastic – the above. The author explains the monastic vows and gives instructions with the help of stories about the ascetics he saw. RIA Novosti © Evgeny Lyubov addressing the laity, the author says that the main goal of a person’s earthly life is to achieve eternal life and the resurrection of the soul. And the main causes of the death of people are the passions of sweet -loving, abbreviations and vanity. John notes that if people are restrained from lies, slander, theft, extinction, hatred, will not break away from the Church, but will be compassionate to those in need, then they are not far from the Kingdom of Heaven. The fourth week of the fourth week of the fourth week of the post on Tuesday and Thursdays are held by ordinary worships, and the remaining three days have their own characteristics related to post. Monday service differs only in two points: 1. For the first hour they worship the cross. 2. On all hours and during “our Father” they read a special condak to the cross, the rest of the kondaki are not read. The environment of the fourth week is a special day, the middle of the post. If on this day a holiday falls (for example, 40 martyrs of the Sevastian), then the service is transferred to Tuesday. On Friday the fourth week, the service is similar to the service of the environment. The worship of the cross occurs not at the first hour, but closer to completion. This is the last worship of the Cross, after which the priest carries the cross to the altar. When the liturgy of the pre -communicated gifts in 2025, the year of first -associated gifts, is a special worship, which is performed during the Great Lent. Its main feature is that believers are communed with holy gifts that were consecrated on the previous Sunday day. The service is usually performed in twilight, without ceiling lamps. And the priests are dressed in dark vestments, purple or black. Great -prayer prayers are sung and the prayer of Efrem Sirin is read kneelly. In the service, a special exclamation is pronounced “The Light of Christ enlightens everyone! ”. In 2025, the first liturgy of the pre -associated gifts is committed on the environment of the first week of the Great Lent (March 5). In total, during the Great Lent it is served about 15 times: – on weekdays on Wednesdays and Fridays; – on Thursday of the fifth week of Great Lent; – on the day of memory of 40 martyrs of Sevastian, falling on lean days, that is, from Monday to Friday during the Holy Fences; – on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the Holy Sedeum; The revered holy (except for the Feast of the Annunciation). in March: 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 19, 21, 26, 28th in April: 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16th.

Great Lent prepares believers for the solemn celebration of Easter. It is very important to understand the sense of each week of fasting and actively participate in worship. So the post will not turn into a simple diet, but will become one of the means to achieve the main goal of the life of the Orthodox Christian – the salvation of the soul and the union with God. On Sunday of the fourth week of fasting, it is customary to prepare a special dish. Lygal cookies are baked twice a year: on the holiday of John Climacus (the fourth week of the Great Lent) and on the holiday of the Ascension of the Lord. The ladder symbolizes the ascent of the soul to the heavenly kingdom according to the steps of virtues. On the holiday of the Ascension, the cookies of the ladder are not prepared, but the “rich.” The Roman Saturday 29 Martav Veliky Lent for everyday life is not a regular liturgy (except for the holiday of the Annunciation). Therefore, prayers for the dead are less common.
