What is the number of Orthodox parent Saturdays in 2017? Often these special days of the mercy of the deceased are called "universal parents Saturdays." This is not true. Ecumenical memorial Saturdays are two: meat support (on Saturday, the previous week about the terrible court) and Trinity (on Saturday, the preceding holiday of Pentecost, or called another holiday of the Most Holy Trinity - the birthday of the Church of Christ).

The main meaning of these "universal" (common for the entire Orthodox Church) of the Official Worships is in prayer for all the frenzy Orthodox, regardless of their personal intimacy to us. This is a matter of love that does not divide the world on their own and strangers. The focus on these days is to all those who are connected to us with the highest relationship - related in Christ, and especially those who have no one to remember.

  • Ecumenical Parent Saturday (meat support) - February 18, 2017.
  • Saturday 2 The saddles of the Great Post - March 11, 2017.

For predominant commemoration personally, our dear people exist other parent Saturdays. First of all, this is the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Saturdays of the Great Post, and besides them, the Dimitrievskaya Parental Saturday, established in the Russian Orthodox Church, which was originally intended to commemorate the soldiers of the fallen in Kulikovsky battle, but gradually became a common memorial day .

This memorial service falls on Saturday preceding the memory of SV. Navy, reports RosReGistr portal. Dimitré Solunsky - Saint Patron KN. Dmitry Donskoy, at the suggestion of which after the Kulikovsky battle and was established the annual mismatch of warriors. But over time, the memory of the liberators was displaced in the folk consciousness, which is very regrettable, turning the Dimitrieval intimidated Saturday into one of the "parent days".

Why "Parental"? After all, we remember not only parents, but also other people, often with no related bonds with us not related? For different reasons. First of all, not even because the parents tend to leave this world forward to their children (and therefore, but not this is important), but because in general the first priority is our prayer - for our parents: from all people whose temporary The earthly life is over, we must first of all by those through whom we received this gift of life - our parents and the progenitors of our.

In 2017, due to the coincidence of Saturday, before the Day of the memory of St. Dimitria and the holiday of the Kazan Icon of God's Mother of God, Dmitrievskaya Parental Saturday was postponed to October 28. This is the last memorial Saturday in 2017.
