This month marks the beginning of the Great Lent (February 27, Pethrutha), followed by Shubkono (February 28), the Service of Reconciliation. Matthew 5: 23-24: “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”
