During the Sradiates holyThat represents the end of Lent and the passion, death and resurrection of Christ, the most devoted parishioners avoid eating meat. This penance comes from canon law, of which article 1251 established that day as obligatory to abstain from meat or other food determined by the episcopal conference.
The faithful will dedicate the Friday days of Lent “to prayer, to perform deeds of piety and charity and to deny themselves, to fulfill their own obligations with greater fidelity and, above all, to observe fasting and abstinence”.
The flesh represents the flesh of Christ crucified, so eating it during the designated days can be considered disrespectful, even a sin. This ‘penance’ originated in the 2nd century AD and became a symbol of purification among Christians. According to the scriptures, Jesus fasted in the desert for forty days before his public mission.

Centuries ago, the church allowed eating nothing during Holy Week. That evolved to allow for one large meal a day, then meat avoidance was only recommended on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and the rest of the Fridays of Lent.
In addition, believers can currently also include other things in the abstinence period, such as electronic devices.
