Meaning of Fasting

The concept of purity, as well as the concept of fasting, should not be weakened. The word “katharsis” comes from “kat-artos,” meaning a process toward integrity, toward perfection. Thus, katharsis implies an inner stability, an integrity of character that remains wholly dedicated to God in the face of any temptations. It requires a gradual spiritual transformation from fragmentation to wholeness. And so, according to the hymn, true fasting is a “means” towards “wholeness.”

Along with the struggle to eliminate passions, the purpose of fasting is to introduce believers into the greatness of the new life in Christ through the Cross. Therefore, when we feel the slightest physical hunger that fasting brings, we strive to transform and reshape it into a “hunger and thirst” for Christ.
