Is Saturday, April 5, 2025 a fast day?

Today is a fast day, but wine and oil are permitted, no meat, dairy, or fish.

Great Lent, wine and oil (Saturday/Sunday) · The Paschal season

The Orthodox Church fasts together, in the same seasons, as a prayer offered with the body. The rule is the same for all; its exact keeping is a gift you receive, not a law you carry alone.

The measure is yours to receive, ask your priest. About the fasts ›
