The rule in short
- Every Wednesday and Friday, except in fast-free weeks.
- Great Lent: Clean Monday to Holy Saturday; fish on the Annunciation and Palm Sunday, oil and wine at weekends.
- Apostles’ Fast: Monday after All Saints to 28 June; fish except on Wednesdays and Fridays.
- Dormition Fast: 1–14 August; fish on the Transfiguration.
- Nativity Fast: 15 November – 24 December; fish until 17 December except Wednesdays and Fridays, and on the Entry of the Theotokos.
- When a great feast falls on a Wednesday or Friday some calendars allow fish; we show the stricter rule.
