Holy Saturday fast time?

    • I've been fasting since Thursday 3pm, what time is noon traditionally? 12pm? 3pm? Or should I break the fast at 6pm? I am asking because I am starting to feel sickish. I mean breaking the fast on Holy Saturday of course not Good Friday.

    Anonymous so I don't brag about fasting as we are not supposed to tell others of our fasting and mortifications.

    What is your definition of fasting? Is it refusing food completely? Is it refusing all fluids? Or of both food and beverages? What is the time at your place?

    If you are feeling sickish how far and how do you travel to Church?

    As for what time is noon, it is always 1200 hours on the clock, but there are different time zones throughout the world, so it aries from place to place

    For Thursday to Saturday noon is no food at all. Water is taken. I am feeling much better now after having water with electrolytes, however I am still unsure when to break the Triduum fast. I am unsure if for traditional fasting, that noon = 3pm or 12pm.

    • There is no such fast in Church law, and therefore no set timr to end it, since you weren’t required to start it in the first place.  Sounds like some kind of local or family custom.

    • A fast day is midnight to midnight. If you follow the ancient method, then food is only taken after sunset. Regardless of which method you choose, Catholics are allowed 2 collations and 1 full meal on a fast day taken at any hour of a fasting day.

    • The law of fast and abstinence ceases at noon on Holy Saturday:

    1917 Code of Canon Law: Canon 1252
    § 4. On [Sundays] or feasts of precept, the law of abstinence or of abstinence and fast or a fast only ceases, except during Lent, nor is the vigil anticipated; likewise it ceases on Holy [Saturday] afternoon.

    Nadir is right, the Lenten fast ends and noon on Holy Saturday. Just after noon I will have a ham sandwich with some nice horseradish - that's the way it's been since I was a kid. Mmmmm!

    • Pius XII changed the end of the fast to MIDNIGHT on Holy Saturday (ie. beginning of Easter).  I am surprised that so many here are ending their fasts at noon on Saturday.  That is pre-1955.

    Holy Saturday is a Day of Abstinence.

    OP here, when I made this thread my breaking of the fast was not in regards to the lenten fast but a no food fast from Maunday Thursday afternoon till Holy Saturday noon/6pm.

    This doesn't sound right, noon is 12pm but on my traditional calendar it says Holy Saturday is both fasting and abstinence. It does not make sense to finish at 12pm rather than Easter Sunday 12am.
