Fasting is based on conscious, voluntary self-restraint for the sake of freeing one’s spiritual powers. Fasting involves not only abstinence in food and the rejection of entertainment. The main thing is repentance and cleansing from sins, a personal upgrade.
The Christ Bright Resurrection is the most revered and joyful holiday of the church calendar, it symbolizes the renewal and salvation of the world and man. Christian Easter is a memory of the redemptive sacrifice and for believers it means the triumph of good and light over evil and darkness, the victory of life over death.
