The holy season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.

Both Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, are days of abstinence from meat for all who are 14 years and older. They are also days of fast (one full meal and two small meals, with nothing eaten between the meals) for adults from 18 to 59 years of age.

All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat for those 14 years and older.
