Notes -
How seriously you take it probably depends on your jurisdiction and church culture, but I was always aware of it growing up. In part because I attended an Antiochian-run summer camp where they would serve us fasting food on Wednesdays, Fridays, and during the Apostles Fast. This year I will probably not fast very strictly since my wife is pregnant and we have a young child.
orthoxerox - if you don't mind me asking, what is your relationship to Orthodoxy? In my time lurking I think I have pieced together that you are a Russian who identifies as Orthodox in some sense and follows some of the practices, but that you are not really a believing Christian. Is this accurate?
(I realized I may have to ask the above question again later if I hope to get orthoxerox's attention, since the fast started today!)
