After the Ascen sion of Lord Jesus to heaven and the outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the d isciples\, they started to fast. In reference to this the following is sta ted in the Acts of the Apostles: “As they ministered to the Lord\, and f asted” (Acts 13:2).\n\nThe duration of this fast differed in length base d on the the date of Easter & also varied between the Patriarchate and Map hrianate. By virtue of a decision taken by the Council of Homs in 1946\, t he duration of this fast was shortened to three days starting on June 26 a nd ending with the commemorative feast of the two chief Apostles\, St. Pet er and St. Paul on June 29. \n\nMay the intercession of the Holy Apostles be with us during this fasting period. May our prayers and fasting be plea sing unto God. Amen\n\nHistory of the Apostles Fast in Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church (courtesy Hymonutho): https://bit.ly/2ZcRdUe LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
