Fasting is a sacred tradition that teaches self-control, humility, and dependence on God. It is not merely abstaining from food but redirecting the heart toward prayer and repentance.

The Church observes fasting seasons such as Great Lent, the Nativity Fast, and other holy periods. During fasting, believers are encouraged to increase prayer, charity, and reflection.

Through fasting, Christians learn to overcome passions and grow spiritually stronger.
