Fasting Traditions in Our World Faiths

The Interfaith Council of Halton invites you to an engaging and educational evening exploring fasting traditions across different faith communities. Many religions observe fasting as a meaningful spiritual practice that reflects themes of devotion, self-discipline, compassion, and reflection.
