During Great Fast, Wednesdays and Fridays are marked as days of simple
abstinence or equivalent penance. On Great and Holy Friday, strict abstinence is
observed (no meat and dairy products, one full meal and twice small refreshment). Let us
remember each other as we offer prayers and sacrifices to God, in union with the Cross of
Christ.
