  • The Nativity Fast

    Rizdvo Xristovo

    The Nativity fast begins on November 15/28, and lasts forty days.

    The Nativity fast is not as strict as Great Lent or the Dormition fast, and can be compared to the Apostle’s fast. It was instituted by the Church so that we would worthily greet the feast of the Nativity of Christ after having cleansed our hearts by prayer and repentance.
