In their pages we feel the burning presence of the Holy Spirit and the power of a faith that changed the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBy reading them with an open heart, we discover that the Gospel does not belong only to the past but remains ever living and active, capable of illuminating human life today as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2>A Time of Communion<\/h2>\n<p>The hierarch also noted that the Fast of Saints Peter and Paul offers Romanians living abroad another opportunity to gather around the Holy Eucharist.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn the diaspora, the Church often becomes the place where homesickness is transformed into prayer and the community of believers becomes a spiritual family. Around the Holy Chalice, in common prayer and in the feasts we celebrate together, we feel that we are not alone and that Christ unites hearts beyond every distance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Apostles\u2019 Fast remains a journey back to the living sources of the Church: to the Holy Spirit, to prayer, to communion and to the joy of a life lived in Christ. It is a time when the soul can be purified, the heart softened, and the human person can rediscover the peace that only God can give.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Archbishop Atanasie concluded by encouraging the faithful to observe the fast with joy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLet us therefore spend these days with watchful hearts, with longing for God and with the joy of following in the footsteps of those who enlightened the world through their faith and sacrifice.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Apostles&#8217; Fast<\/h2>\n<p>The fasting period <a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/fast-free-week-when-apostles-fast-begins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">began on Monday<\/a> and will conclude on 28 June, the eve of the feast of Saints Peter and Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Lasting 21 days, it is considered one of the least restrictive fasting periods of the year in terms of dietary rules. According to the Church calendar, 12 of the 21 fasting days permit the consumption of fish.<\/p>\n<p>The length of the Apostles\u2019 Fast varies each year and is determined by the date of Holy Pascha (Easter).<\/p>\n<p>For Orthodox Churches that continue to follow the unrevised Julian calendar, the Fast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul begins on 15 June 2026 and ends on 11 July 2026, since the feast of Saints Peter and Paul is celebrated on 12 July according to the Gregorian calendar (29 June Julian).<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the Apostles\u2019 Fast lasts 27 days in 2026 for these Churches, including the Orthodox Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Moscow, as well as several other local Churches and monastic communities that retain the traditional Julian reckoning.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: roarch.org.uk<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BasilicaNews\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-495171\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"889\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif 889w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1024x171.gif 1024w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1536x256.gif 1536w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-2048x341.gif 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Apostles\u2019 Fast is also a call to rediscover our true Christian identity,\u201d said Archbishop Atanasie in a message addressed to the faithful at the beginning of the fasting season.
