5 Things to Focus on During Nativity Fast

November 15, 2024 by Destinie Winn

The Nativity Fast begins on November 15. This fast is an opportunity for us to prepare ourselves to celebrate the Nativity of our Lord in the flesh. Observing it fully and sincerely can bring great spiritual benefit.

These guidelines are general. It is important to note that fasting is a spiritual discipline that should be undertaken with the guidance of one’s spiritual father. Please consult with him if you have any specific questions or concerns about how the fasting discipline applies to your unique situation.
