Days on which we give up the eating of meat to honor the suffering of Jesus. It's a church doctrine, which started in the Catholic Church and has actually spread to some other denominations.

My family was of the Methodist denomination and we never ate meat on Fridays during Lent.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944532662261333590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886554326940043996.post-92036228446410209292011-03-25T13:31:02.210-04:002011-03-25T13:31:02.210-04:00I doubt if it had anything to do with "fish s...I doubt if it had anything to do with "fish sales" but it is most certainly man-made.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I believe Catholics "observe" Lent, rather than "celebrating" it.
