Are you allowed to eat fish on Palm Sunday?
In the Catholic Church, fish may be eaten on any day of the year. Some Anglicans and Episcopalians choose to follow Roman Catholic fast and abstinence practices, so such people would presumably not avoid eating fish on religious grounds. Eastern Orthodox Christians and Oriental Orthodox Christians generally have stricter fast and abstinence rules than Western Christians. Some of these Eastern Church have had abstinence rules may prohibit fish on certain days, including Palm Sunday, and some of them may continue to have these rules in force for their members. Individual Churches may follow abstinence rules that vary from one national church to another within the larger Orthodox Communion or Oriental Orthodox Communion, and the rules may change over time as well.

At what ages must a follower obey the rules for the sacraments?
The age of reason has been determined by the Church to be around the age of seven, so by that point you should be consciously following the rules of the Church on your own without too much prompting from your parents. This does NOT mean that you don't have to follow the rules for the first seven years of your life, but that, up to that point, your parents are primarily the ones who are responsible, instead of you.The only things that I *know* have specific age ranges which are given by the Church are fasting and abstinence. You must obey the rules for abstinence from the time you turn sixteen until the time you die. You must obey the rules for fasting from the time you turn 21 until 60.The sacraments, however, are always in force.
