What is the Nativity Fast?

The Nativity Fast is the fasting period that precedes Christmas. It is one of the four major fasting periods in the Orthodox Church during the ecclesiastical calendar which prepares us for the Feast of the Nativity of Christ on December 25^th.  Although there is an important focus on abstaining from certain drink (wine) and food (meat, dairy, eggs, fish and oil on certain days) there is an equally important, if not more important emphasis, on prayer and almsgiving.

About the FREE 2024 Nativity Fast Meal Plan

The Nativity Fast Meal Plan begins with a few Helpful Hints that will make it easier for you to navigate the meal plan and use it to its full potential. I suggest taking the time to read it 🙂 .

• I have tried to take into account that huge meal prep during the week is likely not feasible for many of us. So, you will find more involved recipes on the weekends, and simply recipes and meals for the work week.
• If you see that a recipe contains olive oil and you are avoiding olive oil on strict fast days, you can usually swap it out for another type of oil or omit it all together. For example, you can sauté veggies for fakes in a bit of water.
