The Apostles’ Fast in 2032
Because it runs from the Monday after All Saints to the eve of Ss Peter and Paul, its length changes every year with Pascha. In 2032 it is 1 day on the New Calendar, and 14 days on the Old.
New Calendar and Old share every date above: Pascha and its cycle are reckoned the same way by nearly all Orthodox. Only the fixed feasts differ, by thirteen days. About Pascha › The feasts and fasts of 2032 ›
