Baha'i fast is to withhold one's self from food, drink... from sunrise to sunset.
Its duration is 19 days; from Mar 2nd till Mar 20th
Fasting is not physical only, no food or drinks, but fundamentally spiritual...
"It is essentially a period of meditation and prayer, of spiritual recuperation, during which the believer must strive to make the necessary readjustments in his inner life, and to refresh and reinvigorate the spiritual forces latent in his soul. Its significance and purpose, therefore are fundamentally spiritual in character." Shoghi Effendi
