The modern practice of fasting in the Orthodox Church has become synonymous with following a vegan diet. Many Orthodox are unaware that there is a long tradition in the Orthodox Church of dry fasting, which is the practice of going for a period of time without food or water. This practice goes back to the earliest of times in the Church and has its origins prior to the day of Pentecost. Fasting as a spiritual practice is as old as humanity, and early Christians would have understood fasting as abstinence from both food and water. This kind of fasting is a discipline that the Saints practiced, even up to our own times, and one way modern Christians can join themselves to the experience of the Saints is to practice it themselves.Nathaniel has extensive experience with the practice of dry fasting, going as long as 9 days without food or water. He has not only incorporated dry fasting into his own spiritual practice but also teaches others how to do it. In this interview we will explore the tradition of dry fasting in the church as well as the practical aspect of how to do it. This will include how to prepare yourself for a fast, how to fast, and how to break the fast.For further viewing: https://youtu.be/ihDlLFSSSMQ?si=vYMEFQfsHdD7y0HANathaniel's links: https://linktr.ee/bodilessvoice_______________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentSubstack: https://substack.com/@youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2
