Judith 8:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Judith had lived at home as a widow for three years and four months. ⁵ She set up a tent for herself on the roof of her house, and girded sackcloth about her loins and wore the garments of her widowhood. ⁶ She fasted all the days of her widowhood, except the day before the sabbath and the sabbath itself, the day before the new moon and the day of the new moon, and the feasts and days of rejoicing of the house of Israel.
