Christian fasting traditions

Christian fasting traditions span from Lenten abstinence to monastic practice, serving as voluntary denial that interrupts habitual consumption and redirects attention toward the sacred. The discipline trains the will, creates physical awareness, and historically symbolized repentance or identification with Christ's suffering—spiritual work that moves through the body.
