Good Friday (all day) is a day of fast and abstinence. Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast. By this obligation, the individual is permitted only one full meal a day. At the age of 14, people are obliged to abstain. This obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but not eggs, milk products or condiments of any kind, even though made from animal fat. The obligation to observe the laws of fast and abstinence "substantially" or as a whole is a serious obligation.
