Also known as the "Sunday of  Forgiveness," this day often reflects on Adam and Eve and their exile from the Garden of Eden, emphasizing the human fall into sin and separation from God. This reminder prepares Orthodox Christians for the intense fasting of Lent - a time to focus and seek forgiveness from God. This is the last day that dairy products can be consumed before the Lenten fast.
