Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics "not eating meat on Friday" is called abstinence and is done to mortify the Body out of respect for the day on which Our Blessed Lord gave up His Life for us on the Cross. Whether other people abstain or not would be a matter you would have to ask them, not Catholics.

How is Good Friday celebrated in Ireland?

Good Friday is a very solemn day. It is traditional for Catholics not to eat meat on Good Friday. They will not eat a lot and amongst what they might eat as a tradition are hot cross buns. There are usually religious services starting at 3pm, and some other ones starting later. The story of Christ's Passion and Crucifixion feature in these services. In the Republic of Ireland the pubs are all closed. Christmas Day is the only other day that this happens. Bars in hotels are open to residents, but most places selling alcohol are closed. It means there is a lot less night life on Good Friday. A Friday is normally a very busy social night, so some people will buy drink on the days beforehand and drink at home instead of going to a pub.

How do Catholics celebrate on Good Friday?

Remember the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. (from the Nicene Creed in 325 C.E.) The MOST important thing that Jesus did for us was die for our sins to give us the gift of everlasting life. The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the MOST important point in all of human history.


Why the name change From Catholic to Roman Catholic?

The "name change" was only made by protestants in England who thought they could be Catholics without acknowledging the Pope in Rome, they are the ones who first started referring to Catholics as Roman Catholics so as to allow themselves to be "Anglo" Catholics. There was never any official name change.
