Can a dog owned by a Catholic eat meat during Lent?
Well, considering the dog isn't human , I don't think he/she celebrates Lent. However, since he is your family member and is probably treated like a child, which my dogs really are babied...lol, then of course, it is feesible that a person celebrating Lent who owns a pet, probably wouldn't feed the animal meat. But, on the other hand , most dogs I know can't stand vegetables unless they are cooked into something. THey mostly eat meat, so it would probably be safe tosay that, yes.. a catholic dog can eat meat on Lent.
What does the palm have to do with Palm Sunday?
"Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. The gospels record the arrival of Jesus riding into the city on a donkey, while the crowds spread their cloaks and palm branches on the street and shouted "Hosanna to the Son of David" and "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" to honor him as their long-awaited Messiah and King.
The significance of Jesus riding a donkey and having his way paved with palm branches is a fulfillment of a prophecy spoken by the prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9). In biblical times, the regional custom called for kings and nobles arriving in procession to ride on the back of a donkey. The donkey (or domesticated ass) was a symbol of peace; those who rode upon them proclaimed peaceful intentions. The laying of palm branches indicated that the king or dignitary was arriving in victory or triumph."
Which event in Jesus life do we think of in lent?
Lent, the forty days before Easter, mainly commemorates Jesus' last days on Earth, his passion, and his crucifixion. The last week of Lent is especially meaningful. Starting with Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, on which Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a colt, the week celebrates Jesus' final moments. Ash Wednesday was the day the day of the Passover Feast with Jesus and his disciples, and Good Friday was the day Jesus died, taking away all our sins. Finally, he rose again on Easter, conquering death and guaranteeing all of us eternal life with him.
We remember the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. Good Friday has the most understated name for a Holy Day. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. (from the Nicene Creed in 325 C.E.) The MOST important thing that Jesus did for us was die for our sins to give us the gift of everlasting life. The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the MOST important point in all of human history.
Of course you missed mass on Good Friday. So did every other Catholic in the world.
Yes. You can receive communion without going to confession. Jesus Christ died to save sinners. He came to seek and save the lost. Do not let a rule about going to confession separate you from Jesus. Confession is important. Jesus is more important.
Jesus did not die on Friday. He actually died on a Wednesday and rose on a Saturday. He spent Wednesday night, Thursday day, Thursday night, Friday day, Friday night, Saturday day in the grave just as he said he would do. "Just as Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the fish, so the son of man will spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth." It is believed that Jesus rose from the dead at 6pm on Saturday so that the prophecy would be fulfilled.
Jonah 1:17 (KJV) Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Matthew 12:40 (KJV) For as Jonas was three days and three night's in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
What is the Biblical significance of the day before Lent?
There is no Biblical significance to the day before Lent begins. The 40 days of Lent represent the 40 days Our Lord spent in the desert fasting and praying before he began his public life. It should be a time of fasting and praying for us, also. The day before, 'Mardi Gras,' is sometimes considered a day to go to excess on food and alcohol before the penance of Lent begins.

What is the link between Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday?
On the day before Ash Wednesday the leftover palms from last year's Palm Sunday are burned and the ashes are used on Ash Wednesday to 'anoint' the faithful.
Palm Sunday is when people celebrate Jesus entering Jerusalem and ash Wednesday is when you use the left over palm leaves from palm Sunday. They are burnt to an ash and then in the mass the congregation is blessed with them.
Lent was not made, per say......
But, Jesus life leading up to his Passion was Lent. It happened 2,000 years ago and continues to be celebrated today!
Hope this helps at least a little bit! Keep posting if not!
It comes from the Good Friday Reproaches. In the pre-Vatican II Church it was chanted or sung in Latin and Greek and known as 'Hagios, O Theos.' It was a most solemn, beautiful and, at the same time, sad part of the Good Friday services that could bring tears to one's eyes. Unfortunately, few Catholic parishes use it today.
See the first link below for the complete version of the hymn and the second link for a video and audio presentation of one version.

Why does Good Friday fall on a Friday?
Good Friday is the day on which we remember Jesus being crucified.
In the Gospels, Jesus was crucified on the day before the Sabbath (which was Saturday) to rise on the third day afterwards (on the Sunday). Therefore as Jesus was crucified on a Friday, the day on which we remember the crucifixion, is always a Friday.
Does a Catholic have to observe Lent?
