Some thoughts on fasting.

At Square Zero, a newish blog by Eric Scheidler.  Since he switched rites fairly recently from Roman to Byzantine (Ruthenian, IIRC), he has a take from a different perspective. 

For example, Catholics in the Eastern rites fast from dairy products for the whole of Lent, which leads to (a) something called "Cheesefare Sunday" and (b) gastrointestinal distress.

Read and enjoy.

  1. Don’t forget Meatfare Sunday…or maybe that’s just us Orthodox?
