Church Orthodox calendar of fasts and meals for 2020
Fasting is not in the belly, but in the spirit
Popular proverb
Nothing in life comes without difficulty. And in order to celebrate the holiday, you need to prepare for it.
In the Russian Orthodox Church there are four multi-day fasts, fasting on Wednesday and Friday throughout the year (except for a few weeks), and three one-day fasts.
In the first four days of the first week of Great Lent (from Monday to Thursday), the Great (Repentant) Canon, the work of the brilliant Byzantine hymnographer St. Andrew of Crete (8th century), is read during the evening service.
ATTENTION! Below you will find information about dry eating, food without oil and days of complete abstinence from food. All this is a long-standing monastic tradition, which even in monasteries cannot always be observed in our time. Such strictness of fasting is not for the laity, and the usual practice is abstaining from eggs, dairy and meat foods during fasting and during strict fasting also abstaining from fish. For all possible questions and about your individual measure of fasting, you need to consult your confessor.
Dates are indicated according to the new style.

The Savior himself was led by spirit into the desert, was tempted by the devil for forty days and did not eat anything during these days. The Savior began the work of our salvation with fasting. Great Lent is a fast in honor of the Savior Himself, and the last, Holy Week of this forty-eight-day fast is established in honor of the memory of the last days of earthly life, the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
Fasting is observed with particular strictness during the first and Holy weeks.

in 2020
Christmas (Filippov) fast. At the end of autumn, 40 days before the great feast of the Nativity of Christ, the Church calls us to winter fasting. It is called both Filippov, because it begins after the day dedicated to the memory of the Apostle Philip, and Rozhdestvensky, because it occurs before the feast of the Nativity of Christ.
This fast was established in order for us to offer a grateful sacrifice to the Lord for the collected earthly fruits and to prepare for a gracious union with the born Savior.
The charter about food coincides with the charter of Peter's Fast, until the day of St. Nicholas (December 19).
If the Feast of the Entry into the Temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary falls on Wednesday or Friday, then fish is allowed. After the feast day of St. Nicholas and before the forefeast of Christmas, fish is allowed on Saturday and Sunday.

Only when the days of celebrated saints fall on Wednesday and Friday is vegetable oil allowed, and on the biggest holidays, such as Intercession, fish.

Lent is the longest and strictest of all Orthodox fasts. In 2016, it will begin on March 14 and end on April 30 with the celebration of the Holy Resurrection of Christ.
Preparing for Lent
The time of preparation for Lent includes four Sundays (in Church Slavonic - Weeks): the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee, the Week of the Prodigal Son, the Week of the Last Judgment and Forgiveness Sunday, however, between February 21 (the beginning of preparation for Lent) and March 14 (the first day Lent in 2016) - only three calendar weeks. The fact is that in the language of the Church the word “Week” refers to only one day - Sunday.
How long does Lent last?
This period consists of Lent (forty days) and Holy Week - the last week before Easter, which is dedicated to memories of the last days of earthly life and the death of Christ on the cross. Holy Week is preceded by Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday.
Pentecost was established in imitation of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who fasted in the desert for forty days, and Holy Week was established in remembrance of the last days of His earthly life, suffering, death and burial.
Fasting for believers involves abstaining from meat, dairy and eggs. In order to fast strictly “according to the Typikon” (the charter intended for monastics), the laity must receive the blessing of a confessor.
Recently, priests often remind that those who fast should remember: fasting is not a diet, not just a restriction on the consumption of certain foods, but a time of humility, prayer and repentance. During Lent, Orthodox Christians should take care of cleansing their souls and thoughts in order to joyfully greet the Resurrection of Christ with a pure heart.
During Great Lent, believers were previously given a vacation so that they could attend not only Saturday and Sunday, but also the weekday services of Great Lent, as the most useful for spiritual life.
How to eat during Lent?
All lean food is limited, that is, all food of animal origin (meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, fish and fish roe), as well as alcoholic drinks, even though they belong to plant foods. Only wine is allowed, but only on Saturday and Sunday.
The rest of the time:
Monday Wednesday Friday– dry eating, that is, it is allowed to eat bread, water, fruits, vegetables;
Tuesday Thursday– you can eat hot foods of plant origin without oil;
Saturday Sunday– food of plant origin with vegetable oil is allowed;
on the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which in 2016 is celebrated on April 7, you can eat fish;
on Palm Sunday, which is celebrated on April 24 in 2016, fish is also allowed;
on Lazarus Saturday, which will be April 23, 2016, fish roe is allowed to be served;
on Good Friday, which in 2016 will be April 29, you cannot eat before the removal of the shroud during a church service.
Ecology of life. Health: Immediately after Maslenitsa, which ends on March 13, Lent begins. Fasting is observed with particular strictness during the first and passionate weeks.
Great Lent. Fasting is observed with particular strictness during the first and passionate weeks.

The merry revelry ends Maslenitsa, which is celebrated in 2016 from 7 to 13 March. March 13th is Forgiveness Sunday– the last day of Maslenitsa week and the last day before Great Lent. During the cheerful Maslenitsa week, mountains of pancakes were eaten, generously sprinkled with sour cream, butter, jam or seasoned with mushrooms, cabbage, fish, caviar and other delicacies, which were supposed to reconcile those who respect Orthodox customs with the lack of meat, which they had to say goodbye to a week earlier . And, let’s face it, we drank a lot during Maslenitsa, and not just sbitney, jelly and compotes. All these semi-permitted liberties were supposed to prepare everyone for whom religion is not an empty phrase for the rigors of Lent, designed to prepare a Christian in soul and body for the main Orthodox holiday - Easter, which in 2016 will be May 1.
When is Lent in 2016?
Lent in 2016 begins on Monday, March 14, and will last forty days, until April 30 inclusive. From March 14 to April 30 The strictest restrictions apply, primarily relating to spiritual cleansing, as well as nutrition.
What Orthodox holidays fall during Lent in 2016
In April there will be several important Orthodox holidays, one way or another connected with Easter. These days the severity of fasting is softened.
April 24 - Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, which is called Palm Sunday, this is the last Sunday before Easter;
What not to eat during Lent
According to Orthodox tradition, during all days of Lent, believers abstain from eating meat and dairy products, as well as eggs. Also, those who are fasting should not eat foods containing “forbidden” ingredients: mayonnaise, butter, baked goods and generally white bread, sweets and other confectionery products. Alcohol and fish are also prohibited, with the exception of three holidays, when some concessions are allowed: the Feast of the Annunciation, Palm Sunday and Palm (Lazarus) Saturday (on this day it is customary to eat fish caviar).
What can you eat during Lent?
Foods that can be consumed during fasting:
- legumes, seeds, nuts, dried fruits;
- pickles and fermentations, vegetables, juices, berries, jam (preferably not very sweet);
- frozen and fresh vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms;
- herbs and spices;
- products made from soy;
- cereals and savory bread.
However, it should be remembered that you should not overeat, even when it comes to permitted foods: intemperance in eating during Lent is not encouraged. In addition, it should be remembered that when using lean analogues of fasting products, for example, soy meat, soy sausage or soy dairy products, some substitution occurs, since fasting is not an end in itself. Abstinence and self-restraint should, first of all, help believers cleanse their minds and souls, learn to avoid anger, condemnation of others, and bad thoughts and actions.
“He who believes that fasting only means abstaining from food is mistaken. True fasting is removal from evil, curbing the tongue, putting aside anger, taming lusts, stopping slander, lies and perjury,” taught John Chrysostom.
Who can fast
Forty days of Lenten abstinence is within the capabilities of any healthy adult who feels ready to prepare for Easter in this way. However, when it comes to children, pregnant and lactating women, sick and elderly people, special caution and, of course, common sense are needed. Yes, children can easily do forty days without meat, sausages and sausages, but depriving them of dairy products is unreasonable and unhealthy (it is better for the child to consciously refuse, for example, sweets). The same applies to pregnant women (especially those with pregnancy pathologies) and nursing mothers - both need adequate nutrition.
Strict fasting can also be dangerous for patients, especially those who have low hemoglobin, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diseases of the hematopoietic organs, including cancer. It is advisable for such patients not to completely give up meat products. Also, relaxations of fasting are allowed for people doing hard physical work that requires a lot of energy, for traveling, in prison, etc. It is enough for them to limit themselves in the first and last weeks of fasting.
And, of course, for all those who fast, especially those who decide to do it for the first time, it makes sense to consult a doctor, get a blessing from a confessor, and also show responsibility and use common sense.
Great Lent 2016: nutrition calendar by day
We offer a version of the nutrition calendar for Lent according to the so-called “monastic charter”, which for the laity, of course, is too strict, but can become a kind of guide, if not to action, then at least to reflection. And of course, we should remember that fasting without prayer and spiritual growth is just a diet.
