Do 7th day adventists celebrate lent season?
Asked by Wiki User
As a general rule, Seventh-Day Adventist do not celebrate Lent. Lent, as a celebration of sacrifice and fasting, is not given in scripture, but comes down solely through the liturgical tradition. As with all such extra-scriptural traditions, the Seventh-Day Adventist church examined its place in the Story of Salvation, and rejected it based on its sole focus on ritualistic personal sacrifice.
This type of church endorsed ritualistic personal sacrifice was a mandated in the Old Testament as a symbol of the sacrifice demanded of the Son of God. Christ, being the perfect sacrifice, took that upon his own shoulders for humanity when on the cross. Today, there is no more need for ritualistic personal sacrifice for the sake of personal sacrifice. The Adventist Church views it as an affront to the work of God, and a trivializing of Christ's own sacrifice for our sins.

Why don't you eat red meat on good Friday?
Asked by Wiki User
Fish is eaten on GoodFriday because it's similar to a sacrafice for God and what he has done to help our world, since so many people love meat and all the types of food eaten usually. If you eat fish and not eat any meat at all, it shows that you respect God. It's also, I believe, called fasting. You don't just have to eat fish on GoodFriday, you could eat anything that is not meat or anything that relates to fasting. It's not just on GoodFriday, its all fridays during the days of Lent.

Why do people eat pancakes before lent?
Asked by Wiki User
Shrove Tuesday, (the day before Ash Wednesday) marks the beginning of the 40-day Lenten fasting period when the faithful were forbidden by the church to consume meat, butter, eggs or milk. However, if a family had a store of these foods they all would go bad by the time the fast ended on Easter Sunday. What to do?
Solution: use up the milk, butter and eggs no later than Shrove Tuesday. And so, with the addition of a little flour, the solution quickly presented itself in... pancakes. And lots of 'em.
And if you can't sit down to a plate of pancakes, then faschnauts (donuts) are great with a cup of coffee.
