Questions about fasting arise in chapters 7 and 8. Fasting on the Day of Atonement was the only required fast, but the [[Jews]] fasted to remember fallen [[Jerusalem]]. Why fast if the city will be destroyed? [[Zechariah]] uses this to teach them the true meaning of fasting, and to promise the restoration of the city in [[peace]] and joy.
