Eastern Orthodox have the Triodion, or Three Odes as our pre-Lent. The Gospel readings are as follows
1. Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee (Luke 18:9-14)
2. Sunday of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
3. Sunday of the Last Judgment (also called Meatfare Sunday; Matt 25:31-46) (March 3rd for 2019, also the last day to eat meat)
4. Sunday of Forgiveness (also called Cheesefare Sunday; the expulsion of Adam from Eden is also a theme of this day); Matt 6:14-21. Lent begins the next day when we follow the strict fast (no animal products essentially) until Pascha
