The Christmas Fast begins on November 15 and ends on December 24, lasting 40 days. During this period, Orthodox Christians observe dietary restrictions, including specific days when fish is allowed. In 2026, there are 15 days designated for fish consumption, with notable dates in November and December. The fast emphasizes spiritual preparation through prayer, forgiveness, and good deeds, rather than just dietary abstinence. The fast concludes on Christmas Eve, followed by the celebration of the Nativity on December 25.
