Christians of the eastern rite have a long tradition of remembering the dead loved ones and relatives. For this purpose there are special memorial days, which are called parental Saturdays.. The dates of funeral days can change depending on religious holidays and posts. In particular, there are several parental Saturdays before the holiday of the bright resurrection of Christ.
