All Maronites, who are physically able, are to abstain from meat on Ash Monday and all Fridays of Lent. In addition, Ash Monday and the Great Friday of the Crucifixion are also days of fasting. Fasting in the Maronite Church means eating and drinking nothing at all (except water and medicine) from midnight until noon. The rest of the day normal meals can be taken, but without meat. All Maronites, who are physically able, are to fast on these two days.
Please join us each Friday during Lent (except Good Friday) from Friday, February 16 through Friday, March 22. The best, in our opinion, in the Twin Cities!! Baked fish, green beans in tomato sauce over a bed of Lebanese rice, fried cabbage, garlic sauce, flat bread and homemade dessert, for just $15.00!! Come one, come all! We are looking forward to seeing you and serving you as you find your seat and come through the buffet line! Please join us the first six Fridays of Lent from 4:00 p.m. to 7 p.m.
