About The Apostles' Fast
The Apostles' Fast begins on the Monday after All Saints and ends on 28 June, the eve of the feast of Saints Peter and Paul. Its length depends on Easter: in some years it is a few weeks, in others only a few days or none at all. Weddings are not celebrated while it lasts, so the June dates, which are popular in the West, are less so in Orthodox countries. The duration shown is an average.
