The Orthodox Church celebrates today Jonah’s feast or Jonah’s Passover after concluding a 3-day fast. This feast is an Observance exclusive to the Oriental Orthodox Church. Here is a few interesting facts. 1. It was actually originally called the Fast of Nineveh. According to an ancient Arabic manuscript preserved in the Vatican Library, a few hundred years after the fast was instituted, a man named Gregory Bar-Hebraeus called it The fast of Nineveh and never once refe...rred to it as Jonah’s Fast. 2. It is debated whether the Ninevites fasted 3 days, or 40 We presume the number of days based on the amount of time Jonah says God is giving them to turn from their ways. According to the Hebrew text, Jonah 3:4 says 40. 3. The Coptic Church adopted this fast in the 10th century from the Syriac Church The fast was originally promulgated by the Maphrian of the Syriac Orthodox Church in the year 536 AD. The Coptic Patriarch, Abraham, who was Syrian, and who was the same pope associated with the miraculous moving of the Mokattam mountain, instituted the fast in the 10th century. 4) We don’t know what creature swallowed Jonah. The Greek word referring to this event in the Septuagint and by Christ in Matthew 12:40 refers to a large sea creature. Happy Jonah’s Feast
