A religious post for the rural population has always had a special significance. It was practiced as a manifestation of deep faith, as well as preparation for the contact with the sacred and the changes that took place in the life of the individual or the community. It always had its reasons, had to take place at the appointed time and referred to a specific group of people who kept orders determined by religious principles and traditions of the community. All these aspects have been addressed in this text to show the specificity of fasting practices implemented by members of folk culture.
