However, on the 24th of May, the Church of God and Saint of Christ observes a day of fasting, where no meals or water are consumed from sundown to sundown. This day holds great significance as a Memorial Day, allowing us to reflect on the courageous individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of God in the Church of God & Saint of Christ. The following day, the 25th, marks a joyous feast accompanied by freewill offerings, celebrating the end of the fast.
