Can Catholics Eat Meat on Ash Wednesday
If you are a devout Catholic, then you may know the answer to this question: Can Catholics eat meat on Ash Wednesday?
The Catholic Church emphasizes the penitential nature of Ash Wednesday by calling us to fast and abstain from meat. Catholics who are over the age of 18 and under the age of 60 are required to fast, which means that they can eat only one complete meal and two smaller ones during the day, with no food in between. Catholics who are over the age of 14 are required to refrain from eating any meat, or any food made with meat, on Ash Wednesday.
