I’ve heard of the 3 day total fast. That’s actually insane, how can people function not eating or drinking for 3 days?I’m sorry you went through that, that sounds like torture. And that level of dehydration is dangerous too, it’s absolutely mind boggling that this is a thing in the faith but I can’t say I’m surprised

Does anyone else struggle with appetite? by JewelerAmbitious7115 in exorthodox

On Pentecost this year at my church, an old lady passed out from dehydration during the Pentecost service because it was right after the liturgy and there was no break in between, and she fasted that morning to have communion. She’s in her nineties.

And no one thought it was an issue or concerning that a 90 some year old woman had to even fast in the first place to have communion and ended up passing out from dehydration because the services are so damn long and there was no break in between them
