I take a cue from the Orthodox, who fast on Wednesdays (to remember the day Jesus was betrayed) and on Fridays (to remember the day He was crucified). I do a strict fast (water only) on Wednesdays and a "dry fast" (no meat, dairy, oil, wine) on Fridays. I am, however, flexible, since I am not always the one making dinner plans on those days.

Actually, He would have been arrested/betrayed Monday night and crucified Tuesday. According to the Jewish calender He would have spent from Tuesday to Sunday morning in the tomb. Their clock works from sundown to sundown. That would have been three full days.

Alot of times, I try to fast on Sabbath(Saturday), and I have done so many times(there is no Scripture that says I need to, I just do it because I want to). Does anyone else here fast on a "special" day or something?
God bless! :)

i fast one day a week ( only water )
