Q&A Home > F > Fasting

If fasting is not permitted during the Holy 50 days, can an ordained Priest or Bishop start fasting effective the day after Pentecost? If so, does that cancel out the fast of the Apostles for the ordained or would he be as if fasting both fasts at the same time?

It is sufficient for the newly ordained priest or bishop to fast according to the Apostles' Fast following the Feast of Pentecost.
