The Valiya Nombu (Great Fast) or Valiya Nombu Namaskaram (Great Lenten Observance) is the most significant fasting season in the liturgical calendar of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. Lasting for 50 days—culminating in the feast of the Resurrection (Pesaha/Qyomtho)—this period is not merely a time of abstaining from food but a profound spiritual pilgrimage. Rooted in the traditions of the early Church and the Syriac Antiochene heritage, the Valiya Nombu invites the faithful into a structured journey of repentance, prayer, almsgiving, and self-examination, mirroring the forty-day fast of Christ in the wilderness and the subsequent ten days of Passion Week.
