Just as one cannot know how to Feast without Fasting, you cannot know how to,Fast without Feasting either.
The Church gives us four lenten periods (Great Lent, Advent, Sts. Peter & Paul Fast, and the Dormition Fast), yet we are also given four Fast-Free weeks in which to enjoy and celebrate without fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays. These are, Bright Week; White Week (the week following Pentecost); the time between Christ's Nativity till the day before Theophany; and this week, between the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee and the Sunday of the Prodigal Son.
Enjoy and indulge during this fast-free week as we sense the Great Fast just around the corner.
Fr. John
