The duration of this fast differed in length based on the the date of Easter and also varied between the Patriarchate and Maphrianate. In Ma lankara\, this fast traditionally began on the 16th of June every year and ended on the 29th with Holy Qurbono. As written by late Patriarch the thr ice blessed HH Mor Ignatius Zakka I of blessed memory in his article about fasting\, "By virtue of a decision taken by the Council of Homs in 1946\, the duration of this fast was shortened to three days starting on June 26 and ending with the commemorative day of the two chief Apostles\, St. Pet er and St. Paul on June 29."
