Lambri?

[edit]

An unregistered user (the host, www-cacheC.usyd.edu.au, is registered to the University of Sydney and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution) listed Lambri as an alternate name for Bright Week. I commented it out (but did not delete it), because I've never heard this term before and am unsure whether or not it is a hoax. If it is a legitimate term, perhaps it could be placed in parenthenses with a label showing which language it is. MishaPan (talk) 16:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A quick google on Lambri Easter suggests it's the Greek word for Bright (transliterated), so there's a reasonable case for including it in some shape or form. David Underdown (talk) 16:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hapgood's idea of Bright Week

[edit]

In the article, there is an astounding line, which reads:

"It is held that those Orthodox Christians who die in penitence during this time are released from the bonds of their sins and are accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven.[6]"

While I recognize that this is attributed to Hapgood, this just strikes me as plainly as a product of her not being Orthodox. In Orthodox Christianity, if a person dies in penitence, there is no reason why they would not be received into heaven. It is not as if some days had a magical spiritual effect on someone's salvation. I think there needs to be a citation of an Orthodox saint or elder for this idea to hold weight. Because of this, I have marked this line as dubious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.97.87.147 (talk) 04:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My recollection is that his is widely held by Russian peasants; I heard it from a great many people born before or within a generation after the Bolshevik Revolution, and those who were educated took it with many grains of salt while the unschooled believed it without reservation.
In the article, methinks this should be, at the very least, cited as a local folk belief.
There numerous analogous superstitions, not only among Russians, but among many groups far and wide. IIRC, the Catholic Encyclopedia called a “superstition” the belief that wearing a scapular at the time of death guarantees the wearer not be damned while contemporary literature of the early 20th century (with an Imprimatur, IIRC) stated otherwise.
In the meanwhile, I’ve been hoping to overhaul this article and, should I find the time to so do, will make the discussed assertion either go away entirely or designate it as a folk belief or whatnot.
