Same might go with Eastern Orthodox.
Regretfully I had no copy at hand but I'd like to cite from Bishop
Kalistos Ware, in his short essay "On Fasting", he begins (recalling
memory) as follows: there is no written set rules on Fasting, the
Tradition and Holy Fathers have agreed etc.". Also priesthood have
been recommended to consider oikonomia (original Greek word of
economy) of each observant, boldly in other word practicality, the
exact fasting rules therefore may vary from person to person under
instruction of their priests. Shortly there is no general rules, the
Orthodox hierarchy have agreed for centuries. The efforts of the
organizer team is awesome, but Wikimania is no religious event anyway?
Let us focus on our own mission, which is not bind to any religious
rules in principal.
