Hello everyone,

I'm still trying to learn about fasting, but it seems like most fasting calendars are different. For example, I looked at two calendars yesterday. One of them said that yesterday (Monday, the 29th) was a fast-free period while the other said that it was a strict fast.

So, I was hoping that some of you could share any fasting calendars that you use.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Unfortunately, my priest lives in Russia and I live in Vietnam. He is only able to visit every months. I have emailed questions, but he has not been able to respond (I know that he is extremely busy).

I asked a similar question to my priest a week or two ago because depending on which source I looked at for the Greek Archdiocese, I got different answers (strict, fish allowed, oil allowed).

He told me what he expects the people of the parish to follow and that was that. I have to say so far I have appreciated the Orthodox approach to discipline that is very pastorally sensitive and avoids legalism.

Very true. I have to agree with you that I appreciate that also.
