Let no one fast, our fathers the Apostles, fasting is the oldest known Christian church in all generations and referred to by Mr. said, "but when the groom lifted from them then they will fast" .. 

And fasted fathers the Apostles, the beginning of their service. The Lord himself began his fasting, forty days on the mountain. 

Fast of the Apostles, then, is a special fast service and the church. 

For our teacher said to Peter that he fasted that "hungry a lot and desire to eat" (Acts 10:10). In his hunger saw heaven open, and saw a vision on the acceptance of nations. 

As was accompanied by fasting, vision and divine guidance, was also accompanied by the work of the Holy Spirit and solutions. The book says: "And while they are serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said blown out of proportion me Barnabas and Saul for work which call for it. Fasted then arrived, and put them hands, and then Otalegohm. These two, having been sent by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia" (Acts 13: 2 - 4). 

Important things, characterized by fast our fathers the Apostles, including: fasting, prayer, service, and the work of the Holy Spirit. 

We are pleased that the Holy Spirit works through fasting, and God's call comes through fasting, and to be ordained servants during the fast also ..Servants and start fast, before you start the service ..

The Fast of the Apostles is for the service and the church, at least in order to learn to fast for the service, and its utility to him. 
Fast to intervene at the service of God and appointed. And fast in order to serve and we are in a spiritual state. Poets of our vulnerability and fast .. 

How Achthina the arrival of this fast during the holy session. 

Number of days of Fast of the Apostles


Way of knowing the number of days Fast of the Apostles 

Determine the day when the Feast of Resurrection, How many days before the month.

So 8 + 15 = 23 days 
So Fast of the Apostles will be 23 days.

B - small feasts of the seven feasts. 

- Celebrations of the Virgin Mary and the angels and apostles, martyrs and saints. 

All of these are divided in terms of Ayadi scheduled into two types: 
Fixed date holidays, Christmas and mobile (mobile). 
First: Fixed holidays 
Festivities fixed or non-moving (mobile) are those festivals that take place every year at the same time in the liturgical books, such as a book or a book Synaxarium Aldvinar Alqtmars or book, or book the order of allegiance, and others have changed from the date the decree in the Coptic month.

As well as all the festivals of the angels and saints, stable, non-mobile on the day, which put her in the church books. 

II: Holidays Animated: 
Are those holidays and the seasons advance and delayed from one week to five weeks to relate to each other and Easter. 
As the Feast of Resurrection linked the Jewish calendar, Jewish calendar, and linked the sun and the moon as it is solar lunar calendar. 
So come out and not unexpected according to the progress and delayed slaughter of the Passover lamb Jews. 
By reference to the liturgical books such as: Qtmars Lent and Pascha and Qtmars Qtmars Fifties and Dalal Holy Week and the order book of allegiance, we can see this group of events, namely: 

55 days of Lent 
50 days Holy Fifties 

Is preceded by Lent Mushroom date, followed Khamaseen Fast of the Apostles Saints. 
As the fungus begins the day a specific date a fixed date, a date Holiday Kiahk 29 or 28. 
Fast of the Apostles and ends on the fifth day of the month of Aviv Holiday death of the Apostles Peter and Paul. 
Then this term is: 
1 - Mushroom date 
2 - Lent 
3 - Fifties 
4 - Fast of the Apostles 
This season is 186 days (in years simple) or 187 days (in leap years) distributed as follows: 

Apostles Feast 
5 Aviv 

Fast of the Apostles 
---? --- 
Fifties 
50 days 
Lent 
55 days 
Mushroom date 
---? --- 
Holiday date 29 or 28 
Kiahk 
105 days 
186 or 187 days 

It is known that the period of Lent and the Holy Fifty 105-day, then: 
186 / 187 from birth to Holiday Holiday Messengers 
- 150 period of Lent and the fifty- 
Vibaky 81 or 82 days is a mushroom birth Fast of the Apostles and the fungus associated with Christmas in quantity with the Fast of the Apostles integrally linked to any deficiency in excess of one other, and vice versa and shall not exceed both 81 or 82 days. It must be located Lent and the Holy Fifty Days between this period, I must step in and delay according to the system of the Jewish Passover, which is linked in turn the calendar of the Jewish lunar solar, so less days Mushroom date if Baker Feast of Resurrection, and allows the visit days Fast of the Apostles. 
And fewer days Fast of the Apostles if they were delayed Feast of Resurrection, and followed by a visit Mushrooms date. 

Why are different for (date and mushroom Fast of the Apostles) 
From 81 days to 82 days? 
The duration of mushroom date and the days of Fast of the Apostles together 81 days over three consecutive years and in the fourth year (which are divisible by 4 without the rest of) The term 82 days, the reason for that is up to date Gala Christmas, is three years will be 29 Kiahk and fourth year 28 Kiahk For example, .. 
Holiday date 1704 U 28 years old Kiahk 
Holiday date 1705 u 29 Kiahk 
Holiday date in 1706 u 29 Kiahk 
Holiday date years 170 729 Kiahk 
Holiday date years 170 828 Kiahk 
Holiday date years 170 929 Kiahk 
Holiday date years 171 029 Kiahk 
Holiday date years 171 129 Kiahk 
Holiday date years 171 228 Kiahk 
This is because the Church celebrates the Annunciation on 29 Baramhat, Christmas Day 29 of each year Kiahk Copt. 
And the total period of 29 to 29 Baramhat Kiahk 275 days, on the basis that Alenci 5 days every three years in a row. 

9 months × 30 = 270 + 5 days = 275 Alenci 

We know that Alenci comes 6 days once every four years Had Alenci 6 days and the Christmas festival in 29 Kiahk period would be 276 instead of 275 days. 
Since the duration of the fetus in the womb of the Virgin Mary fixed no more and no shortage (275 days) and in order not to over-day period up to 276 days to that date, the church rejoicing once every four years on 28 Kiahk.
