Epiphany Paramoun
With seafood or without seafood?

no, paramouns are always fishless, and when not in a weekend, it's strict abstinence!

Funny, I recently had this conversation with a friend about the strict abstinences mo3do3. So paramoun is 3 days as you all know (friday, saturday, and sunday). And as you said, we fast strictly but not on the weekend. Well.. in most churches, there is odas on friday.. so we still fast strictly? We can't on Saturday or Sunday.. so that leaves Friday.. and since there is odas (and communion) that means we shouldn't fast Friday either? Then where does the whole "strict abstinences" come from?
What do you think? :)
Peace,

well...think about it. A first degree fast comes with late liturgies. but as you said before, in our case this year, that is only a possibility on friday because weekends general rites would not be broken.
