I suppose the answer is yes. But you have to wait until Mass is over. Since there is no Mass on Good Friday you will have to wait until after the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday. Otherwise you are free to eat meat after midnight on Friday night.
you are allowed to eat fish on good Friday but just not meatfish is not classed as meat
Yes, Friday abstinence is still the law. However, people are now allowed to either abstain from eating meat or do some other form of penance or good work on Friday instead.
Catholics abstain eating meat during Lent on every Friday of the season. Fish can be eaten on this day, just not red meat.
All meat.
Yes, they can; the only days meat is not allowed is Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent, but Spy Wednesday ( 2 days before Good Friday) is OK to eat meat
Good Friday is not 'celebrated', it is observed as the most solemn day of the Liturgical Calendar. It is observed by attending Good Friday services which include the reading of the Passion according to St. John, adoration of the cross and a communion service. No Mass is held on Good friday.
No!!!They are considered as meat!!Another Answer: Unless that Friday is a Good Friday or a Friday in the season of Lent, its ok to eat frog legs(meat).
Catholics cannot attend Mass on Good Friday, as there is no Mass held on this day anywhere in the world. In addition all Catholics over the age of 14 are required to abstain from meat. And all Catholics from the completion of their 18 year until they are 59 are required to fast on Good Friday.
None. Like Ash Wednesday, it is a day of abstinence (as well as fast).
It isn't really traditional. It substitutes meat which shouldn't be eaten on Good Friday. This is a form of sacrifice since Good Friday is a holy day, the day where Jesus died. Meat shouldn't be eaten on any Friday as a sacrifice.
Eating meat on Good Friday would be sacriligious.
Yes, you may touch meat. Abstinence is the penance required and is not specific except on Good Friday for many Christians. No eating of meat if that is what you "give up" for lent. Butchers must work through lent, hard to do if they were not able to touch meat. Many people give up other things other than meat. Meat is not a staple food for many cultures. It is the spirit of the penance that makes it valid.
