Byzantine Catholic Fasting
This course covers the basics of Byzantine Rite fasting. The liturgical books of the Byzantine Rite say very little about fasting; in fact, they are more likely to say when food is to be eaten rather than when it is not. But the self-discipline that comes from fasting, and the watchfulness that comes from keeping vigil, are important Christian virtues, and so both fasting and vigils are an important aspect of Byzantine liturgy.
