Candles and Donations

And here is something to clear up the confusion about the 'price' of candles at the MOCS churches (we don't SELL our candles) and why we don't change money (our staff and volunteers are not authorized to conduct any cash transactions):

CRKOVNITE SVEKJI I DONACII

Pochituvani parohijani na Makedonskite pravoslavni crkvi “Sv. Kiril i Metodi” vo Rozberi i “Sv. Nikola” vo Kabramata,

Svekjite koi se palat vo hramot sekogash treba da bidat zemeni od samiot hram, zatoa shto samo svekjite koi se izdavaat vo hramot se blagosloveni i osveteni, a preku svekjata dobivame blagodat. Svekjata e nashata beskrvna zhrtva na Boga, koja so nejzinata svetlost, toplina i troshnost go pretstavuva samiot zhivot na sekoj koj veruva, se nadeva i Go ljubi Boga i blizhniot.

Zatoa, svekjite vo crkvite na Makedonskata pravoslavna zaednica od Sidnej ne se prodavaat, tuku sekoj vernik koj kje go poseti Bozhjiot hram treba samiot da si zeme svekji, a vo kasata do svekjite da ostavi dobrovolna donacija. Istoto vazhi i za donacii za ikonchinja, privezoci, brojanici, belegzii i sl.

Vo nashite hramovi, nikoj ne e ovlasten da rasitnuva pari za donacii, bidejki nikoj ne e ovlasten samiot da raboti so kesh pari. Crkovnite kasi se zaklucheni so po tri katinari, a kluchot od sekoj katinar mu e doveren na razlichno lice. Na krajot na denot, site tri ovlasteni lica treba da gi otvorat kasite zaedno, pred sekoj zainteresiran prisuten vernik, da gi izbrojat donaciite i da potpizhat zaednichka potvrda kolku pari se sobrani. Potoa, potvrdenata suma mora da bide vlozhena vo bankovnata smetka.

Gi zamoluvame site vernici da ni pomognat vo naporite da obezbedime ochevidna kontrola vrz tokot na crkovnite donacii, so toa shto nema da baraat sitni pari od bilo koj sluzhbenik vo hramot. Sekoj vernik neka si podgotvi sitni pari za donacija pred da dojde vo hramot, a ako nekoj ne uspee toa da go stori, neka ja odlozhi svojata donacija do narednata poseta na hramot.

Neka e chestit, radosen i za mnogu godini na siot Makedonski narod spasonosniot praznik na Hristovoto Voskresenie - VELIGDEN!

HRISTOS VOSKRESNA, NAVISTINA VOSKRESNA!

[Prolet]

Aleksandrov, This is a great initiative are you fasting for this easter? This week its without Maslo.

[Dejan]

Thanks for the info aleksandrov. This is most appreciated!

Sreken Veligden

[Rogi]

Who else here is fasting?

[Prolet]

Rogi, With Maslo or without Maslo?

Its very healthy to fast, im not doing it but its very good and you loose weight usually up to 15 kilos if you exercise.

[Rogi]

Without maslo. I'm starving by the way.

[julie]

Rogi, put some potatoes peeled into the oven with water and sprinkle some herbs and spices, they are filling and ne e mersno.

[Prolet]

Rogi, Machki Grebat? Ti krkorat crevata?

Its pretty tough thats for sure, i dont think i'd be able to handle a 40 day fast im too much of a Gurman. How do you cook without Maslo? I guess you'll be using butter but im not sure if thats posno.

[julie]

Prolet butter is NOT posno!

[Prolet]

Julie, Not even home made?

So how would you cook anything? All you can eat is fruit and veggies.

[julie]

Julie, Not even home made?

So how would you cook anything? All you can eat is fruit and veggies.

Easy.
Boil rice, drain, throw some hot spices on it and you have some spicy rice.
or turshia , pickles and you have a rice salad.

"roast" vegetables in the oven with water - pumpkin, carrot etc

throw some lentils in a pot, grated carrots, a potato, some onions and tomato paste with water and you have , throw whatever fresh herbs, spices , vegeta for seasoning

Or beans substitute for the lentils in the soup.

throw sliced fresh sliced mushrooms, garlic, onions in a soup pot, and simmer overnight until all the water reduces.
It tastes even nicer if you can turn it into cream of mushroom with butter/flour to thicken, but not for veligden postovi







It can be done without any meat/fish/animal products and you can fill up on it

[Prolet]

Thanks for the Tip Julie

We all need to know this, do you know any posni mandzi?

[julie]

Prolet, its hard to make a posna mandza with no meso!
