Paschalion and Fasting Guidelines
Orthodox Christian Fasting Guidelines
The following is a general statement concerning fasting guidelines used in Orthodox Christianity.
As in the first millennium, so also today, there are a variety of guidelines for Orthodox fasting. There are a number of reasons for the variety: the availability of local foods, climate and bodily health considerations, just to mention a few. Descriptions for some of these variances can be found in printed sources as well as websites, such as:

Monastic fasting guidelines may differ from those used in parishes. For example, the Tri-émeron is practiced by monestles during the first three days of Great Lent, whereas it's generally not practiced by parish priests & laity. Please consult your parish priest concerning the fasting guidelines that are practiced in your local parish.
