Today is the Transfiguration, I remember my mother preparing baked apples with honey especially for this evening. In our parish, apples and grapes are consecrated after the Liturgy, I will also take some for the boys. What do you say, do you eat fish today or do you fast more closely?

I had baked apples and honey for lunch today, just like your mother's. After the service in our church, apples and grapes were also consecrated, she brought home a whole bag. And we don't eat fish, we keep a strict fast, because the Transfiguration is on Wednesday.

Here in Brno today, after the liturgy, they also consecrated apples and grapes, I took a few pieces home for my son. I made baked apples with honey yesterday, they turned out very well. And we didn't eat fish, we're keeping a strict fast because it's Wednesday.

Yes, Change of Face is one of my favorite days, baked apples with honey smell like childhood. In our parish, the priest also sanctifies the plums now that they have ripened well. I eat fish today, but lighter, without oil, because that's how I've always been.
