Overview of Christianity Dietary Restrictions
Most Christians eat both meat and vegetables. They do not object to eating a certain meat of an animal unless they are vegan or vegetarian or when it is Lent, the 40 days preceding Easter. Some Christians choose to fast on Fridays or not eat meat on Fridays because of Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified and died. Instead, they might eat fish or vegetables. Additionally, the Holy Communion of the Eucharist, is symbolically celebrated using wine and bread as the "body and blood" of Christ.
Give Me that Filet-O-Fish...
Many Christians ate a McDonalds Filet-O-Fish every Friday instead of eating meat.
Sacrament of the Eucharist
The Sacrament of the Eucharist is achieved in second or third grade. One acknowledges that s/he believes that the wine and bread is the body and blood of Christ.
Good Friday
All Christians celebrate Easter. The Friday preceding Easter is Good Friday, the day believed to have been Jesus' last day on Earth. He descended into the dead and on the third day, Easter Sunday, rose from the dead and preached for another 40 days before ascending into Heaven.
