The third commandment of God:
Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
If you don’t take it, don’t take it, don’t use it. In vain - in vain.
With this commandment, God forbids using the name of God when it should not, for example, in jokes, in empty conversations. The same commandment prohibits:
blasphemy against God (the Jews blasphemed the Lord, saying that He casts out demons by the power of Beelzebub - the prince of demons: Matt. 12:24);
murmuring against Him (the Jews repeatedly grumbled against God during their wanderings through the Arabian desert: Numbers 2:4-6);
lying under oath;
blasphemy (Belshazzar, the last king of Babylon, feasting with his nobles, drank wine from the sacred vessels of the Temple of Solomon, stolen by Nebuchadnezzar; for this blasphemy he was killed that same night, and other nations took possession of his kingdom);
to worship unnecessarily, and especially in untruth, which constitutes a grave sin before God.
When can and should one use the name of God?
When we pray, we conduct pious conversations, when, at the request of our superiors, we swear, we take an oath, and in all these cases we must use the name of God with fear and reverence.

In the Old Testament, the holiday was Saturday, or that seventh day on which God, after the creation of the world, rested from all his works; from the time of the resurrection of Christ, Saturday was replaced by Sunday, or the day on which Jesus Christ was resurrected.
Besides Sundays, are there other days that need to be devoted to charitable deeds?
Eat.
These are the holidays of the Lord, such as, for example, the Nativity of Christ (Dec. 25), the Epiphany of the Lord (Jan. 6), and the Transfiguration of the Lord (Aug. 6). Feasts of the Theotokos, for example, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Sept. 8), Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Aug. 15).
Holidays in honor of saints, for example, the day of the Nativity of John the Baptist (June 24), the day of the Beheading of his head (August 29), the day of the Supreme Apostles Peter and Paul (June 29).
What else is commanded by the fourth commandment?
It is commanded to observe fasts.
What fasts are established by the Orthodox Church?
1) Great Lent, or Holy Pentecost, during which we usually fast, confess and receive communion. This fast was established in imitation of the forty-day fast of the Lord Jesus Christ in the desert and was established in order for us to worthily celebrate the feast of the Resurrection of Christ. (Begins every year seven weeks (weeks) before Easter and consists of 40 days and Holy Week.)
2) Fasting before the Feast of the Nativity of Christ, or the Nativity Fast, otherwise Filippov. (Starts on November 15 - after the day of the Apostle Philip - and lasts 40 days until December 25, i.e. until the Feast of the Nativity of Christ.)
3) Dormition Fast before the Feast of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary (from August 1st to August 15th), otherwise known as Gospozhinka.
4) Petrov fast, or Petrovka. (It always begins a week after Trinity Day and continues until June 29, until the day of the apostles Peter and Paul, and therefore the duration of this fast depends on the time of Easter.)
There are also one-day fasts, or fast days, namely:
