∙ 13y agoGreat question. It is true that sundown technically signals the end of one day and the start of the next liturgically. Just like how a Vigil mass may be said the day before, but only in the evening. My suggestion is this: Stick to the technical day terms: 12am to 12am of your time zone. If you do switch to a sundown-to-sundown set-up, be consistent about it. That is, you would have begun your Friday the evening before.

There is no teaching in the Lutheran Church regarding the eating of meat on Fridays. Lutherans do take on fasting as a Lenten discipline, but this is personal and individual. Often Lutherans will fast by eating only one small meal after sundown every day throughout Lent or something similar. Often Lenten fasting is not followed on Sundays as Sundays are considered "little Easters" and are not included in the 40-day count of the days of Lent.
