Lent is a time of public penance for Catholics. Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 should fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics 14-years and older should not eat meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and every Friday during Lent.
The obligation to abstain from meat binds Catholics 14 years of age and older. The obligation to fast binds Catholics ages 18 to 59. So, a 59 year old does not eat meat on Fridays (during Lent).
Catholics. They go back to the time of Jesus. It is what Jesus founded. Baptists first started in 1609.
For centuries, Catholics abstained from eating meat on Friday, as a form of penance. It became the custom to only eat fish. These days, while some traditional Catholics do still follow this custom, it is generally incorporated into part of the Lenten observance, and it also remains popular with older Catholics. But many non-religious Catholics no longer observe this custom as much. Eastern Rite Christians (Greek and Syrian Orthodox, for example) also follow the custom of not eating meat on Friday, and many substitute fish. As for other Christians, many Southern Baptists abstain from meat during Lent, and specifically on Good Friday. Other more moderate denominations such as Unitarians or Congregationalists seem to eat whatever they would normally eat on Fridays. In other words, there is no longer one official set of dietary rules that applies to every denomination.
