What else can I help you with?
When do you stop eating meat at Easter time?
You don't fast during Easter. Catholics, Orthodox and some other Christians fast from meat during Lent: Catholics on Ash Wednesday and every Friday in Lent. Orthodox fast from meat every day during Lent. The Lenten fast ends on Holy Saturday night with the celebration of the Easter Vigil. The purpose of the fast is to discipline the body and focus on the spiritual life.
Why some religions did not believe in celebrating lenten season?
because according to the Bible God's redemption happened once and for all.The most significant thing that happened there is the redemption of mankind. There is no need to imitate the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus' every lenten season because only Him is worthy to redeem us and sacrificing yourself by imitating the Lord could not save you from your sin but rather it is by receiving the Lord's redemption by believing into Him and receiving Him as your life and everything.

How many times do you have to take eucharist a year?
The frequency of receiving the Eucharist varies by individual and denomination. In the Roman Catholic Church, it is recommended to receive the Eucharist at least once a year during the Easter season, but Catholics are encouraged to receive it more frequently, ideally at every Mass attended. Other Christian denominations may have different guidelines or practices regarding the frequency of receiving the Eucharist.
Do Catholics eat meat?
Of course Catholics eat meat. They may also choose to be vegetarian or adopt some other dietary discipline for heath, social-consciousness, or even spiritual reasons. The question begs the explanation of the disicpline of abstinance which the Church asks of its members on Fridays during Lent. During this time, as a corporate act of penitence, those who are between 14 and 69 are expected under the pain of sin to abstain from flesh meat, except for fish (and the various creatures which have been traditionally accepted as 'fish', i.e., shrimp, turtle, capybarra ;) , and such.) Of course, extenuating circumstances, such as health reasons, may mitigate this expectation for individual Catholics. This is not simply an arbitrary exercise of ecclesial power, but it is a mighty witness to the Lenten season of penitence and it is also a powerful reminder of our need to be about self-denial as a worthy spiritual practice. Catholics are encouraged to practice penitential discipline throughout the year each Friday, but presently this does not include manditory abstinence from meat each and every Friday, as it did decades ago. A few Catholics still maintain this discipline as a year-round spiritual practice. In short Catholics do eat meat. It would seem that Catholics, generally, enjoy meat. But by making this one small sacrifice during our penitential season, we set aside earthly enjoyments in order to temper our wills and restrain our desires in a spirit of penance, so that we may enjoy the Easter season (and the feast which accompanies it) all the more.
Do Catholics believe in free will?
