Holy Tuesday today for Orthodoxy

Today we bring to mind the parable of the 10 virgins, which our Savior related as He was coming to His Passion.
This parable teaches us that the accomplishment of virginity should not make us careless in other matters, especially in almsgiving. Furthermore, it teaches us that we should not be remiss about the end of our life, but should be prepared for it at every moment, like the wise virgins, so that we may meet the bridegroom, lest He come suddenly and the doors of the heavenly bride-chamber be shut.
