Cutting Away Thorns
Why Fasting Precedes the Feast
This event has completed
Fasting at this time of year is a foreign concept to the world, but the Church knows that it is a sure means of preparing to celebrating the Feasts and great mysteries of our faith to the fullest. Join us as we discover a deeper “why” for fasting as we approach the Great Feast of the Lord’s Nativity.
