For how many days do Christians fast?
To be honest, most Christians don't fast at all! Western Christians often give up something (usually some type of food) for Lent - 40 days before Easter.In Orthodox Christianity, things are a bit stricter - Lent is 50 days. Many Orthodox Christians give up meat for Lent - the days before Lent are called Carnival (literally "Meat Day") and celebrate the last meat eating days before Lent starts up.As well as Lent, Orthodox Christians will often give up meat in Advent - again 50 days long - leading up to Christmas.Apart from these two periods, Orthodox Christians also have "fasting days" through the year, where they avoid meat.However, when you're thinking that they are amazingly strict, you should remember that there are millions of vegetarians that don't eat meat at all. Also, for obscure reasons, shellfish isn't considered meat for fasting purposes.
