Fasting without a gloomy display
"Moreover when you fast, don’t be, as the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most assuredly I tell you, they have received their reward.
But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
