So this is kind of a dumb question I'm sure, but it's been a year and I've forgotten the rule and unfortunately I can't find a bulletin online. Are we supposed to fast from noon on Saturday?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IIRC, we were told 6pm, sometimes I've heard 4pm... One of those AYP...
The reason our priest says 6pm is that communion doesn't really come around until 2am or so. Some parishes get done a lot faster or don't even do the midnight service but instead earlier.

The rubrics prescribe a light meal to be eaten after the vesperal liturgy of St Basil - which would start after noon if the rubrics were to be obeyed and end much later than noon. This is an instance where the fast is intentionally shorter than typical.
