The '''leavetaking''' (also known as ''apodosis'') of a feast is the final day a feast is celebrated in the Church. In most cases it follows an [[afterfeast]]. On the leavetaking, most elements of the festal services are appointed to be served again.
[[Pascha]] and most [[First Class Feasts]] and [[Second Class Feasts]] have leavetakings. (See the [[Afterfeast#Which Feasts?|Afterfeast]] article for specificsthe specific dates of these leavetakings.)
In addition, four [[Third Class Feasts]] have leavetakings.
