Belief and Practice: Orthodox Fasting
Eastern Orthodox Christians have a different calendar than Western Christians and for them, Great Lent, as they call it, has just begun.

Our guide to the Great Lent fast is Jack Hinton of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Washington, DC.
