With the arguable exception of such Anglo-Catholic groups such as the monastic Cowley Fathers ( name comes from a town in England, not their headdress!) Modern Episcopalianism does not have any specific dietary laws or fasts except possibly on Good Friday. There are high ( pro-catholic in formality) and Low Episcopal churches and like most Protestant denominations,l a surprising variety of practical (free-style) as far as worship styles go- not paint-By-Number or assembly-line format- except of course for the Book of Common Prayer.

∙ 14y agoThis answer will be based according to your Faith. Catholics observe fasting during lent and fasting can be classified into 2 categories:
1. Full Fasting, literally no food intake.
2. Partial Fasting. This is done with water or light meal. This fasting is observed by person who has for medical issues and as prescribed by doctors.

∙ 8y agoUp to age 13 I went to a Christian school and for a hot lunch menu for Fridays during Lent they would have meatless meals. At age 14 I went to a Catholic school and changed religions. My sister graduated from that school and is still a Christian so far and eats meat on Fridays during Lent. That's why I need a specific answer as to whether Christians do or don't eat meat on ash Wednesday and on Fridays during Lent.

Protestant Christians tend to believe the observance of Lent by fasting is a personal choice, rather than a rule that must be obeyed. Different Christian Churches probably have different rules though.

∙ 8y agoLent is not a biblical feast/holy day or period. It is manmade. As such, some religious groups which follow the 'Mother' church have a meatless meal on set days during this period - which differs in length depending on the group.
The Bible has dietary laws established in Leviticus and followed by Jesus and the Apostles and most all disciples throughout the 1st to 4th centuries when the Roman church changed anything appearing to be a 'Jewish' custom. Today, a small group of disciples still adhere to these dietary laws - which allows one to eat various meats (not pork or other non split hoof animals, prey birds, etc, shellfish or fish with no scales) on most any day.

For how many days do Christians fast?
To be honest, most Christians don't fast at all! Western Christians often give up something (usually some type of food) for Lent - 40 days before Easter.In Orthodox Christianity, things are a bit stricter - Lent is 50 days. Many Orthodox Christians give up meat for Lent - the days before Lent are called Carnival (literally "Meat Day") and celebrate the last meat eating days before Lent starts up.As well as Lent, Orthodox Christians will often give up meat in Advent - again 50 days long - leading up to Christmas.Apart from these two periods, Orthodox Christians also have "fasting days" through the year, where they avoid meat.However, when you're thinking that they are amazingly strict, you should remember that there are millions of vegetarians that don't eat meat at all. Also, for obscure reasons, shellfish isn't considered meat for fasting purposes.
