Traditional Practice for The Apostle’s Fast

The traditional practice for Apostle's fast is to abstain from meat and dairy products on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.   While this Fast is voluntary, it is highly encouraged.  It is also customary to go to Confession during any and all Fasting periods because they are penitential seasons that spiritually prepare us for the celebration of the Feast itself. A more mitigated abstinence may be observed on the other days of the fast.
