Which religion fasts for 24 hours once a month?

• A. Muslims
• B. Mormons
• C. Jehovah's Witnesses
• D. Seventh Day Adventists

Answer: (B)

The correct answer is that Mormons, or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, observe a practice known as fast Sunday, which occurs on the first Sunday of each month. During this time, they traditionally fast for 24 hours, which means abstaining from food and drink during that period. This practice is rooted in spiritual discipline, emphasizing prayer and reflection, and it is often followed by a testimony meeting where members share spiritual experiences.

The other options do engage in fasting but not in the same manner. Muslims, for example, observe fasting primarily during the month of Ramadan, lasting from dawn until sunset for an entire lunar month, rather than a single 24-hour fast monthly. Jehovah's Witnesses do not have a standardized fasting practice similar to that described, and while Seventh Day Adventists promote health guidelines which may include fasting, they do not have a specific 24-hour fast once a month as a congregational or doctrinal practice.
