What are the other practices of Catholics every Lenten season and Holy Week?
Catholic PracticesCatholics usually only eat fish on Fridays during Lent because during that time they believe they should give up to meat every Friday as penance and in recognition of the crucifixion of Jesus. Many Catholics do choose to eat fish as an alternative. AnswerThe Church continues to encourage abstinence (eating no meat) on Friday as an act of penance. The practice is no longer binding under sin. Catholics are encouraged to practice the classic penitential acts: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Historically, Catholics have "given up" something for Lent, something that is permissible, but they are offering something extra to God. Many Catholics try to attend daily Mass during Lent, make the Stations of the Cross on a regular basis, add extra prayers to their usual routine. Before Vatican Council II, EVERY day, except for Sunday and Feasts was a fast day, allowing only one full meal during the day, and many Catholics try to abstain from meat on Wednesday and Friday during Lent.

And so some give up something they like to eat, which is usually meat to adults, but it can be anything or any type of food such as sweets and stuff.
Why should one not eat meat on Good Friday?
Because pork is meat and we abstain from meat on Fridays of Lent as a sacrifice and memorial of Jesus' death on Friday. We also fast for the same reason.Answer 2:The above answer is not the case at all for all Christians. Catholics are quite strict about rules, but the Reformation hundreds of years ago meant that Protestant churches did not need to enforce such rules any longer. There are no limits at all to what people can eat on Good Friday, but it is a matter of personal choice. Some people are perfectly comfortable eating pork, and it is not against their church's teachings, but others may not be comfortable - and that is their choice.
