Eastern Catholics start 2 days earlier (Monday instead of Ash Wednesday) than Roman Catholics. Both end the same day (Easter Sunday). Also goes without saying the eastern Catholics have kept their fast and abstaining more strict than the post Vatican 2 recommendations…My fiancé is Eastern Catholic.
I have a question, do you follow the same dates for lent and easter as the Roman catholic?
