686 ‎[1] 1. One is allowed to fast the day before and after Chanukah and Purim. ‎[2] 2. We fast on the 13th of Adar. And if Purim falls on Sunday, we start the fast on Thursday. *RAMA: This fast is not required, therefore you can be lenient for the time of the fast, for example: one who is pregnant, nursing, or not dangerously sick. And even if only you have pain in your eyes that is bothering you a lot - you shouldn't fast, and fast on a later day. But other people [who don't have these conditions] - they should not separate themselves from the rest of the congregation. And if Purim falls on Sunday, and the fast moves to the Thursday before, and it falls on a circumcision, you are allowed to eat for the circumcision, and the next day on Friday, those who ate should fast.* ‎[3] 3. There are those who fast three days in remembrance of the fast of Esther.
