You need to clearly understand what the meaning of fasting is in order to observe it. It is important to realize that at this time you need to forget about your desires and what you want. This hinders and aggravates the path of an Orthodox person to Christ.

Recall that Lent began in 2023 on February 27 and will last exactly 40 days. It will end on April 15, and April 16, 2023 will be Easter.
