The Dormition of the Mother of God Fast is a significant Orthodox fasting period leading to the feast on August 15. In 2026, it starts on July 31 and lasts until August 14. This fast, also known as the Fast of Saint Mary, involves abstaining from animal products and emphasizes prayer and spiritual preparation. Specific dietary rules apply, with stricter fasting on certain days and allowances for oil and wine on weekends. The only day with a fish allowance is August 6, coinciding with the Transfiguration of the Lord. The fast concludes with the celebration of the Dormition, a major feast in the Orthodox Church, marked by pilgrimages and special services.
