In order for the faithful to sustain their lenten effort by participation in Holy Communion, the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is served. The service is an ancient one in the Orthodox Church. We officially hear about it in the canons of the seventh century,https://orthodoxalbania.org/2020/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LogoLastALb-200.png200172
