Bright Saturday is the only Saturday fasted with abstinence All other Saturdays are without abstaining because Saturday signifies the day on which the Lord rested.

8 HOLY PASCHA WEEK During these 6 days (Pascal Week), you eat only bread and salt with water. No meat or wine shall be consumed in these six days, because they are days of sorrow.

10 THE PARAMOUN According to synexarion of Tobah 10: If Nativity or Epiphany falls on Wednesday or Friday, the saintly apostles ordained that the believers eat all the food that one is permitted to eat during the Pentecostal days. They are feasts to the Lord. The Paramouni days are fasted to compensate for the feast days, so that we may have the blessings of both the fast and the feast.
