'''Forgiveness Sunday''', also called '''[[Cheesefare|Cheesefare Week]] Sunday''', is the final day of [[Lenten Triodion|pre-Lent]]. It is the [[Sunday]] after [[Meatfare Sunday]] and the Sunday before the [[Sunday of Orthodoxy]].

On this last Sunday before [[Great Lent]], the last day that traditionally Orthodox Christians eat dairy products until [[Easter]], the Church remembers the expulsion of [[Adam and Eve]] from Paradise. [[God]] commanded them to [[fast]] from the fruit of a tree (Gen. 2:16), but they did not obey. In this way Adam and Eve and their descendants became heirs of death and corruption.
