Did You Know…??? The Nativity Fast begins each year on November 15 th and ends with the partaking of the Holy Eucharist on Christmas morning (Dec. 25 th). During this period fish is permitted on Saturdays and Sundays but we are to abstain from all other animal and dairy products throughout. As with all fasting periods, we are reminded to offer our confessions during this season.
Sophia – Wisdom of the Saints "Four periods [of the year] have been set aside as times of abstinence, so that over the course of the year we might recognize that we are constantly in need of purification, and that amid life’s distractions, we should always strive by means of fasting and acts of charity to extirpate sin, sin which is multiplied in our transitory flesh and in our impure desires." –St. Leo of Rome (5 th Century)
