In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Fast Sunday is a Sunday (usually the first Sunday of every month) set aside for fasting.
Members are encouraged to fast for twenty-four hours, leaving out two meals, from the Saturday before this day until Sunday, and to give the money they save by not eating as a fast offering which will be used to help the needy.
On Fast Sunday, the main Sunday meeting is fast and testimony meeting, where there are no set talks or speakers. Rather, members are given time to bear testimony to one another of gospel truths and to share spiritual experiences they have had.
