Yes. Protestants adhere to Biblical teaching on what and what they cannot eat. As Christ insisted that what really matters it is what comes out of a person's mouth as this reflects what is in his heart. What goes into his mouth is of no significance. therefore, a Protestant has no restriction on what they can eat at any time whether or not it is Good Friday.
You should consult your local minister. As there are over 33,000 denominations of Protestantism, each may vary on this rule.
No, all Catholics who have reached the age of reason (considered 7 years of age) must abstain from all meats, such as beef, pork, poultry, on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. All those over 18 and less than 60 must also fast on those days. Catholics are encouraged to abstain from meat on all other Fridays during the year or do some other form of penance.
No, both Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence and the eating of meat is not permitted on days of abstinence.
Yes, Catholics do eat on Good Friday. They usually just don't eat as much and do not eat meat.
Many Christians of all denominations avoid meat on Good Friday. Non-Christians do eat meat on Good Friday, as Good Friday has no relevance to them.
No!!!They are considered as meat!!Another Answer: Unless that Friday is a Good Friday or a Friday in the season of Lent, its ok to eat frog legs(meat).
Catholics abstain eating meat during Lent on every Friday of the season. Fish can be eaten on this day, just not red meat.
Yes, it is wrong unless they are required to eat meat for health reasons.
You can't eat meat on Good Friday, but you only eat fish instead. But some say This is the kind of nonsense that makes Protestants laugh at Catholics. The Bible CLEARLY says that we are free to fast or not fast, eat meat or not eat meat, as we please. IT CLEARLY says that these kinds of "religious practices" are worthless and that God sees "good works" as nothing but "filthy rags." Follow Jesus. Give Him your heart. That's all that counts. These kinds of questions reflect the kind of dead useless "religiosity" that Jesus came to ABOLISH!
Catholics fast on Good Friday, and traditionally eat fish and not meat on Fridays during Lent. They used to be forbidden to eat meat every Friday, and depending upon their location and diocese, some still are. Good Friday is a fast day, where one goes without the usual luxuries as a form of penance, purification and remembrance of God's laws.Christ died on Good Friday, so we observe that every Friday in Lent including Good Friday.
The Annunciation is a day of celebration and not a day of penance as are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Yes because it is in the octave of Christmas.
fasting or abstaining.
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 catholics belive that eating red meat on Friday is a sin or disgrace and so the only meat they can eat is fish, that is not poultry or red meat. The above doesn't address the history of this tradition, which has nothing to do with piety. See links
Roman Catholics do not eat meat on Fridays during the season of Lent, which is the 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, and does not include Sundays. Because Jesus was crucified on Good Friday, Roman Catholics abstain from eating the flesh of animals as a small reminder of how Jesus sacrificed Himself for them. Since they do not eat meat, many Roman Catholics replace it with fish (another source of protein)
Yes, they can; the only days meat is not allowed is Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent, but Spy Wednesday ( 2 days before Good Friday) is OK to eat meat
