“Fasting is also a commandment from God.… All the righteous people in the Old Testament fast…Even heathen Nineveh kept the fast (read in Prophet Jonah). If the heathens kept the fast then how can Christians not keep it when this is commanded in the Gospel and shown by the example of the Savior and His apostles?”
(St. Nikolai Velimirovich, ‘Missionary Letters #3″)
