Church initiates 15-day Virgin Mary's fast
The Coptic Orthodox Church begins the Virgin Mary Fast for 15 days, from August 7th to the 21st of the month. During this period, Copts commit to avoiding meat and sticking to foods prepared with oil, with the exception of fish, which are considered part of the second-degree fasts. Throughout this time, spiritual activities are held, including sermons, prayers, and religious competitions. The fast concludes with a grand celebration on the final night. The purpose of the fast is to honor the status of the Virgin Mary, and it is expressed by the Coptic people through austerity and special reverence.
