Abstaining/Fasting

egyboy

Does anyone know the "rules" for fasting (abstaining from food for a certain amount of time)?  Does this include water?  When are we suppose to fast until during Great Lent?

Please pray for me and for a beneficial Great Lent!!

hey egyboy,
Abstinent fasting during the fast is a time that your father of confession sets for you, but the canon time is 3pm and yes that includes fasting from water aswell. God bless

someone please correct me for my benefit and the benefit of others
thanks in advance.

please keep my weakness in your prayers

ok thanks, because i injured my knee about a month ago and i am going through physical therapy, do you think it would be ok to just have some water afterwards?
i understand that abstinence is not suppose to be a punishment but a path to rigteousness

thanks and please pray for me and my weakness
