Let’s talk about how the Orthodox Church teaches us to fast..

Great video brother. I think we all need regular reminders what these fasting periods are all about ☦️💪 a lot of wisdom and insight here. May we all grow closer to God this Nativity season 🤝💯

i spoke to nuns in kentlyn they told me that the vegan fasting rules are actually not rules for people who aren’t monastics.. but we are supposed to struggle when we fast. if we can fast vegan good, if not , still fast as best you can.

It should be discussed with one's Father Confessor. But the Wednesday/Friday fasting from Meat, Eggs, Dairy, Fish and Alcohol are the standard for everyone according to the Didache.

I've never heard that, but like our friend said, you should take advice from your spiritual father only

What have you seen/experienced seeing people who work manual labor and during the summer?

[@Christintheculture]

@@mcmcmorris I worked as a cement renderer for 4 years, debatably as hard as brick laying. I always fasted the fasts of the church and felt no difference. A priest won’t make someone working a physical job adhere to abstaining from food to the same level as someone in air conditioned office. So your priest will understand your line of work is difficult brother I wouldn’t worry about it 👌🏼

Fasting is actually beneficial to muscle growth

[@Christintheculture]
