The two are companion entries, the rule and the living of it, filed under different types on purpose.FactsLearn MoreAll Dietary PracticesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedThe keeping of a tradition's food rules as an ongoing discipline, as distinct from the rules themselves, which the atlas records as beliefs. What is kept differs in kind - a legal standard of permitted species and slaughter, a vow of restricted fare for a set period, an abstention grounded in non-injury - and these do not substitute for one another. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedPractices 1Learn MoreThe dietary practices This group gathers dietary practices, the religious disciplines governing what, when and how the faithful eat: fasting, abstinence, vegetarianism, and rules of permitted and forbidden food. Diet is a daily and visible marker of religious identity and discipline in many traditions. The browser will find dietary practices from various traditions. The entries describe each practice's rules and rationale, noting the tradition that prescribes it.All Dietary PracticesFilter Results16 entriesOrigin Period Start YearAll-1000 (1)-600 (1)-200 (1)325 (1)511 (1)610 (1)1699 (1)1833 (1)1930 (1)Solitary or CommunalAllPerformed alone (1)Performed alone or together (12)TraditionAllArmenian Apostolic Church (1)Beta Israel (1)Breslov Hasidism (1)Chabad-Lubavitch (1)Church of Cyprus (1)Church of Greece (1)Conservative Judaism (1)Coptic Orthodoxy (1)Eastern Orthodoxy (1)Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (1)Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Georgian Orthodox Church (1)Greek Orthodox Church (1)Haredi Judaism (1)Hasidic Judaism (1)Karaite Judaism (1)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (1)Old Believers (1)Oriental Orthodoxy (1)Orthodox Judaism (1)Romanian Orthodox Church (1)Russian Orthodox Church (1)Serbian Orthodox Church (1)Seventh-day Adventism (1)Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (1)Ukrainian Orthodox Church (1)Vaishnavism (1)Category of PracticeAllDietary (10)Purificatory (1)Who Performs ItAllAll adherents of the tradition (9)Clergy or ordained officiants (1)Lay people (1)Monastics: monks and nuns (1)Trained or authorised specialists (2)Practice StatusAllHistorical; not practised continuously (1)Living tradition, practised today (13)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (16)CadenceAllAs the occasion requires (1)Continuous: a standing discipline, not an event (8)Seasonal, at set points in the year (2)ObligationAllObligatory (9)Optional and voluntary (1)Recommended and meritorious, not required (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 16AyambilDietary PracticesBiguDietary PracticesBuddhist Temple VegetarianismDietary PracticesFasting during RamadanDietary PracticesHalalDietary PracticesIslamic views on fasting in the polar regionsDietary PracticesItalDietary PracticesJain Dietary CodeDietary PracticesKeeping KosherDietary PracticesOrthodox Christian FastingDietary PracticesSaikaiDietary PracticesSattvic DietDietary PracticesSikh Dietary CodeDietary PracticesSitta min ShawwālDietary PracticesThe Word of WisdomDietary PracticesVegetarianismDietary PracticesSources1.
