Was it taken seriously and its methods implemented? Was it taken with criticism? What did the church and the minor nobility think of it?

• Not including language or other minor cultural/ethnic differences.

• Feel free to answer my question for any of the Holy Week services, but I'm especially interested in the Paschal Divine Liturgy - traditionally held Saturday night.

I feel like my title is confusing, so here's more context:

Pascha will be celebrated the same way across most Orthodox countries and has supposedly been celebrated the same way for hundreds and hundreds of years. I would like to know how long it has been this consistent.

For as much Cold War history as I was taught in high school, I still don't have a clear picture of what life and business were like in the Soviet Union. I'm taking a comparative politics course at my uni, and we recently learned about modern Russia so, naturally, the Soviet era was discussed. My professor said that all businesses in the USSR were state-owned, and I wondered how this applied to law. Was one able to hire a private lawyer in the Soviet Union, or did prosecutors and defense attorneys alike work for the state?

Afternoon all. Got an unusual one for you;

A friend is convincing me to get into historical reenactment. His period is WWII. Now I'd love to play a soldier like him, but I believe the uniforms tend to all be made of wool. I unfortunately have an unpleasant wool allergy - I can bear wearing a wool uniform (tested during WWI theatre productions) for a couple of hours, but after that it just gets too uncomfortable and I have to get changed.

As such, I'm trying to find out if any armies/units etc. wore or permitted the wearing of cotton uniforms, so I can both take part next to my friend and stay historically accurate.

Cheers!

Most books on Lincoln mentions that even during stages in life where Lincoln was prosperous, he would wrap himself with a 'cloak of melancholy'. Could it be that even though Lincoln had the capacity to elevate his mood, that he was deliberately lowering his mood to improve his productivity and resiliency?

I realize the question is worded strangely. I'm listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Wrath of the Khan's series. He talks about succession of power and I get that; but it seems to be limited to only three or four sons.

My question stems from the fact that he apparently had so many children that you have a better chance of being related to him than almost any other figure in history. I realize some (probably most) of his children were left with whatever people he had just raided, but I'm sure he had more than a couple who traveled with him. Did he consider them all his children? How did he pick the three or four to succeed him?

To what extent was Cermak's rise to power linked to ethnic politics?

Context: We have seen Pope Francis deny the Ambassador to the Vatican on the basis that he is homosexual. This seems to show some ideological rift between the French Catholic Church and the papal authority.

Historically, has been some political, ideological or linguistic schism between the Catholic Church and France?

Were parts of the bible translated into my tongue and passed on orally? Would this come from the clergy or be passed on by lay people?

I am currently looking into the Enlightenment and these 2 questions popped up into my head as I am deciding whether or not the Enlightenment was a detrimental part of the history. Again the 2 questions I have are:

-What degree are we the inheritors of the historical Enlightenment ideas? -How is the Enlightenment of the past a part of our present?

Thanks in advance for all the input!

example: I'm France and decide to end a war with Austria. Besides the territorial concessions do we also agree on a period of peace for the next x years? And if I go to war with Austria again in x-1 years, thus breaking the agreement, how does that affect me? I'm more interested for the 1200-1800 period, but a modern view would also be nice.
Thank you.

hi there guys, i may be doing a commission on a war memorial and i'm hoping to put as much factual information into the piece as i can. something i am curious about is whats in the title. particularly ANZACs travelling from australia and new zealand to gallipoli.

main questions are: what vehicle is used for transport? what routes did they take? (i've seen sailing routes from the uk to sydney then NZ but thats about it)

if anyone has any details about collaberations between anzacs (specifically NZ) and the UK in general as well i would greatly appreciate it, im doing my own research but it always helps to have more sources

thanks people

I've heard a lot "it's a consensus within the scholarly community that Jesus existed".

Is this really true? If it is, what are the evidences for it?

This morning, I was thinking about inland cities in the Eastern US. Think of the Piedmont cities that are now among the fastest growing: Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh. Obviously, domestic rail travel would be the most efficient way of reaching these cities internally, but if you were a European who needed to travel to one of them, how would you reach them? Which ports along the coast had passenger traffic? Would berths on cargo ships have been used in lieu of dedicated passenger ships? How long would the trip take?

All I know is that it helped commanders command on the battlefield but was this worth having soldiers running around in bright red? especially in harsh wooded terrain where local militia and indians easily blend in and often snipe them?

I'm sorry if the question is not specific enough, but it's quite a hard topic to search for on google!
