Winter Pascha is the term coined by Father Thomas Hopko and the title of his book of reflections for the Phillipian Fast.\u00a0 This forty day fast before the feast of the Nativity on December 25.\u00a0 The book is organized as a daily reflection for the period.\u00a0 there are forty short sections covering the important themes that help prepare for the incarnation of our Lord.<\/p>\n

I love this book.\u00a0 I highly recommend it.\u00a0 See the bibliography entry at the bottom and read this work.\u00a0 Give it to your friends.<\/p>\n

The pdf files are are NOT a substitute for reading the book.\u00a0 They are a capsulation of some key themes that are reformatted into parish bulletin format.\u00a0 They can be printed on a single sheet of legal paper both sides and folded.\u00a0 There are six for the Sundays that will span the period of the fast.<\/p>\n

\nThis provides forty short meditations for the preparation for the Nativity.\u00a0 This allows one per day during the traditional forty day fast before the feast known as the Phillipian fast.\u00a0 Hopko compares this fasting period to the Great Fast before the feast of Pascha, hence the title.\u00a0 He points out the connections between the feasts of the Nativity and Pascha along the way.<\/p>\n
