<holidayfyi-glossary slug="fasting"></holidayfyi-glossary>The practice of abstaining from food, drink, or both for a specified period as a spiritual discipline. Fasting is central to many holiday observances: Ramadan (Islam), Lent (Christianity), Yom Kippur (Judaism), and Ekadashi (Hinduism). Rules and duration vary by tradition, from dawn-to-sunset fasting to 25-hour complete abstinence.
