In Ethiopia, Orthodox fasting means a vegan diet with the consumption all animal produce forbidden. There is some controversy as to whether fish is allowed. So fish is often served as part of the fasting menu. A reflection of this is found in the old Catholic fast on Friday where meat was not eaten but fish was.
For many orthodox followers it is not only the vegan diet but an abstinence of any food or drink from waking up until later in the day. Often people will fast till late morning but more properly the fast should be until mass is said in churches which means mid afternoon, (mass is later in the day on fasting days). This is a gruelling fast for virtually 2 months. On breaking fast the more devout limit themselves to a very simple meal, with a second simple meal in the evening. All pleasures are often given up with some people even preferring to sleep on the floor.
Needless to say this is a slow time for bars and clubs. Orthodox meat houses and butchers close, and only those restaurants serving fasting food do very well.
Tesfa Tours wish everyone a good fasting season.
