SPECIAL NOTE ON
THE NATIVITY FAST

On November 15, we began, with God’s help, the forty-day Nativity Fast in preparation for the great feast of the Nativity of Christ on December 25. Throughout this period, we abstain from meat, poultry, eggs and dairy. According to the Patriarchate of Antioch, it is not necessary to fast from oil, but people may choose to do so. Please consult your spiritual father for guidance.

From November 15-December 11, fish, wine and oil are allowed every day, except Wednesdays and Fridays. But fish, wine and oil are allowed on November 21, the Entrance of the Theotokos, regardless on which day of the week it falls. From December 12-24, we observe a strict fast with katalysis (relaxation) for wine and oil on Saturdays and Sundays, on commemorations of vigil-rank and intermediate-rank saints such as Nicholas and Ignatius, and for church patronal saints.

ملاحظات فيما يتعلق بصوم الميلاد

في 15 تشرين الثاني، بدأنا بعون الله، صيام الميلاد الأربعيني استعداداً لعيد الميلاد المجيد في 25 كانون الأول. خلال هذه الفترة، ننقطع عن اللحم والدجاج والبيض والبياض. وفق توجيهات بطريركية أنطاكيا، ليس من الضروري الإنقطاع عن الزيت ولكن يستطيع من يريد ذلك أن يفعله بعد استشارة الأب الروحي في هذا الخصوص

من 15 تشرين الثاني ولغاية 11 كانون الأول، يُسمح بتناول السمك والخمر والزيت كل أيام الأسبوع ما عدا يومَي الأربعاء والجمعة. ولكن يُسمح بتناول السمك والخمر والزيت في عيد دخول سيدتنا والدة الإله إلى الهيكل في 21 تشرين الثاني، في أي يوم من أيام الأسبوع وقع هذا العيد. من 12 كانون الأول ولغاية 24 منه نتّبع صوماً صارماً مع السماح بالخمر والزيت في أيام السبوت والآحاد، كما في أعياد القديسين الممتازين كالقديس نيقولاوس والقديس أغناطيوس وفي عيد شفيع الكنيسة.
