   This coming Saturday, 29 June 2024, is Orthodox Hallowe'en, which   
   always falls on the Saturday after Pentecost.   
      
   It is also, for those on the New Calendar, the Feast of St Peter and   
   St Paul, which marks the end of a fast which only begins the following   
   Monday, so the fast will last for -3 days.   
      
   Those on the Old Calendar won't face the anomaly of a negative fast,   
   as for them the 29th June falls on 12 July (Gregorian), which is a   
   Friday, so they can break the fast with fish.   
      
   For more on Orthodox Hallowe'en, and why it falls on a different date   
   from Western Hallowe'en, see here:
