In 2019, Lent for the Orthodox begins on March 11. From this day on until Easter, fasting people will need to adhere to a strict diet, excluding many foods from their diet, especially meat and fish.

Lent is the longest fasting of the year, so not everyone can stick to it. The fact is that not many people have the willpower to completely exclude animal products and fish from their menu for a rather long period of time - 48 days. And here it is worth noting that during the fasting period there are days when you can enjoy fish dishes and caviar, although you can only taste them three times during the 48-day “diet”.
