Is that why they are under the Golden Arches? Why they have Fish Fridays?

Take a good look at that page, reread it a few times and let it sink in. It
is a brief description of your churches error, as well as that of the RCC and
it is a shame that the rest of the churches when reforming did not drop that
event as well. Yes, in the beginning of the RCC the orthodox was its leader.
The amalgamation of pagan holidays with so-called Christian Holidays is
sinful. Like the eggs on Easter produced by bunnies of the pagan wench, to
the trees of Christmas.
The calendar set by God is the same today as at the beginning of Israel
nation, and he still follows that calendar in prophetic events. You all do
not even know the day of the week that Jesus was buried.

Wrong. See the link above as to why.

Wrong again. That is a totally wrong perspective of the work of Jesus via his
death and resurrection.
In fact it is satanic what is being taught by that religious view as it
totally distorts and tears down the work that Jesus did. One can only be Born
of God once. If you chose to walk away from Gods salvation having once tasted
of the powers to come, there is no more sacrifice for anyone.
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful
looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the
adversaries.” (Heb 10:26-27, KJV)

Really? This was taken from your doctrines.

If it is not of God then what does it matter? It is the way of man just as
before with all the other ungodly people.

Then it is not a lunar month. Even the pagans who went by the moon used
observers to judge the months time.

Is WIKI now the doctrine setter for the orthodox? Amazing. So I should
consult them and not the Orthodox Church?
I was not aware that they had already yielded to the antichrist. ;)
