thegreekone 0 #28 March 27, 2006 3. Easter Sunday - Automatic Special Dispensation - Easter is April 16. Some may want to participate in the Sacrament. Others may have a traditional gathering of family wherein wine is a festive centerpiece of the meal. Therefore, April 16, 2006 - Easter Sunday - will by this rule have "Special Dispensation" and not be considered for purposes of this test. Quote uh, Orthodox Easter is the 23rd. Can I still get a "special dispensation" for that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GiaKrembs 0 #29 March 27, 2006 Thank god I don't have any big plans for April...
