Because pork is meat and we abstain from meat on Fridays of Lent as a sacrifice and memorial of Jesus' death on Friday. We also fast for the same reason.
Answer 2:
The above answer is not the case at all for all Christians. Catholics are quite strict about rules, but the Reformation hundreds of years ago meant that Protestant churches did not need to enforce such rules any longer. There are no limits at all to what people can eat on Good Friday, but it is a matter of personal choice. Some people are perfectly comfortable eating pork, and it is not against their church's teachings, but others may not be comfortable - and that is their choice.

∙ 12y agoEating meat on Good Friday or any Friday during Lent is prohibited for all those Catholics who have reached the age of reason - 14 years old. Unless the Church has received an indult, all Catholics are expected to observe all Fridays as meatless. In those countries with the indult Catholics may eat meat on all Fridays except during Lent but are expected to make some other sacrifice as a penance.
