@Shaz51 you're quite right lovely. The Bible doesn't state anything about not eating meat on Good Friday.

It started as a tradition of observing that Jesus gave up His flesh on that day for us so to observe that, some Christians gave up eating red meat as a sacrifice for all that Jesus sacrificed for us.

Whether we do or don't eat red meat on Good Friday it doesn't detract from us sharing a love of The Saviour and Our Lord

@ENKELI @tyme @Shaz51 when I was a kid we always had fish on Fridays - every week. I now have meat perhaps once a week, almost never on Fridays.

I'm not sure if the 40 days of Lent reflects at all on the 40 days in the wilderness.

@ENKELI I don't know much about lent or passover, but I do know that people in my church call the Tuesday before lent "pancake Tuesday" because apparently because according to google it's a way to use up the eggs, milk and butter, the more rich fatty foods, also apparently called shrove Tuesday. 

Where this originated will require more research.
