"In addition, meat consumed by Christians should not retain any blood"

"In addition, meat consumed by Christians should not retain any blood"--er... this seems to apply to only a few groups rather than mainstream Christians in, say, the US or Europe. Blood pudding and the like in the UK doesn't seem to fit this model... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.99.14.222 (talk) 18:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Red meat on Friday

How about the old "no red meat on Friday (especially during Lent & even more so on Good Friday)" rule? Why is there no mention of this? Jimp 23:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

which is to say, would this article benefit from information about Christian practices regarding fasting, abstinence, etc?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:59, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no mention of it, because it no longer applies. Red meat was formerly not consumed on Good Friday, as a sympathetic reference to Christ's crucifixion; and, in Catholic countries and among some Catholic congregations, this was carried over to Fridays generally, when fish was eaten. But there never was any moral prescription attached to eating fish on Fridays, nor any proscription against red meat; it was just a tradition. As it seemed to have fallen out of popular observance in recent years, the Church quietly dropped it from formal requirement.

Nuttyskin (talk) 20:27, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nuttyskin, this is incorrect and there are Catholics who still observe it today. Further, the Orthodox are not supposed to consume meat from Meatfare to Easter, from the beginning of the Nativity fast to Christmas, during the Apostles’ Fast, during the dormition fast, and most Friday’s and Wednesday’s throughout the year except for fast free periods (major feasts).
