Lent

It is perfectly A-okay for Catholics to eat fish during lent. The main reason that Catholics do eat fish is because they are not supposed to eat meat of Fridays during lent. Which is why McDonald's fish fillet is so popular around this time.

No, it is not open on Sunday.

The Cross or any sign of the Crucifixtion because it happend on Good Friday

Culturally there is a general preference for meat over fish. Lent is a time of sacrifice and penance in order to prepare for Easter, so the Church has deemed it appropriate to abstain from meat (the preferred meal) on Fridays as a sacrifice.

During the season of lent christians are expected to refrain from eating meat on Fridays and to also only have one meal on Good Friday. Individuals will often give something up that that creates a sacrifce such as candy, alcohol, or smoking. They are also expected to perform additional works of charity or engage in daily prayer.
give something up to remember how Jesus fasted for 40 day and 40 nights.

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.

Palm Sunday signifies the day when Jesus of Nazareth entered Jerusalem on a donkey and was received well. This begins what is called the "passion week" which are all the events leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection.

Originally, Lent meant no meat or other animal products.

But in modern practice, various foods are abstained from, to honor Jesus who is said to have walked through the desert with no food for forty days.

Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter sunday.

To participate in Lent in the Catholic religion, you have to fast, or give up, meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday until Easter Sunday. Also, if you are not a small child, you have to give up something additional. You have to give up something that could harm you or be bad for anyone in some way. For example, you could give up TV or video games. i am giving up meat for the whole lent instead of just fridays. i am also going to stop gossiping because it could hurt others.

Lent in Christianity means giving up dairy for the whole lent i think.

Im not sure about Christianinity because i am not Christian, but i am positive for Catholicism.

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter Sunday. Having said this, for Palm Sunday to have fallen on April 12th, it would mean that Easter would have fallen on April 19th of the same year.

According to records, the last time Easter Sunday fell on April 19th and Palm Sunday fell on April 12th was in 1992.

Here are a few of the dates I have found where Palm Sunday would have fallen on April 12th.

The forty days of Lent represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where according to the Bible he was tempted by Satan. Different churches calculate the forty days differently. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer-through prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial-for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the death of Jesus, and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This word initially simply meant spring and derives from the Germanic root for long because in the spring the days visibly lengthen.

There are various Holy Days which occur during Lent. For most of the world, St. Joseph is a Holy Day of Obligation on March 19, Ireland has a Holy Day of Obligation for St. Patrick on March 17. There are other important feasts that *usually* occur during Lent, such as the Annunciation on March 25, the Chair of Saint Peter the Apostle on 22 February.
