The church considers the post as a demonstration of the maturity of the spirit of a person who defeats worldly addictions. Therefore, the calendar of posts 2017 Orthodox indicates not only the dates of religious holidays, which are most often interested in the man in the street, but also a list of those days when you need to limit yourself in food. The canons of the church are prescribed to fast once a year: four times in the form of multi-day posts, three times one day and almost every week on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Mirshians have the right to less strict post
In the monasteries during the post, a complete rejection of food in strict days is practiced, and in more "lungs" - a trunk and a complete refusal of any oils. The usual believing is allowed to a softer doubt of their flesh. It is enough to remove milk, meat and eggs from the diet, and on the days of strict fasting to exclude fish.
It is recommended to receive the blessing of the priest before the post, which may recommend the individual degree of its rigor. The church believes that the Orthodox post should not deprive the laity of the opportunity to work or pray. Therefore, a chronic disease or severe physical work can be a reason for mitigating the post. But the full refusal to limit the diet during posts is categorically not accepted.
Multi-day posts
Great post
The Great Orthodox Post 2017 takes the period from 27.02 to 15.04 and its greatest rigor accounts for the first and last (passionate) week. The doubt of appetite is devoted to the hardness of the Savior, established for forty days before the temptation of the devil and honoring the suffering taken by him during the execution period.
Petrov post
Apostolic or Petrov post begins 12.06 and ends 11.07. In different years, the summer post occupies a different number of days. The fact is that his ending is always static - Peter's Day and Paul. But the beginning is repelled from the date of Easter Sunday. As a result, it can continue from 8 days (minimum) to 42 (maximum). He is dedicated to the Holy Apostles, which practiced starvation in preparation for the evangelical sermons.
Assumption post
3. A month after the end of Petrov, the post begins the Uspensky, which occupies from 14.08 to 27. 08. These two weeks of self-restraint are devoted to the Mother of God, starving and prayed to their departure to heaven.
Christmas post
4. Phillips or christmas post begins in the fall of 28.11 and ends after forty days already in the winter 6.01.

For all possible issues and about your individual post, you need to consult with the confessor.
