Good
morning all here we are at Friday again and it has started out being
a really good Friday and of course it is Good Friday, so here is this
weeks five things.
No
Meat
Crucified
Pontius
Pilate
Public
Holiday
Jesus
Ok
so it is Good Friday and for me that means no meat today, why we
don't eat meat on Good Friday I have no idea, but it is one day a
year so not a problem. It is how I was raised as was my mother and
her mother and so forth.
I
get annoyed with my own daughters because they do have meat because
they are not religious which is ok I get that but as I said it is one
day a year how hard is it to not eat meat on this one day.
Here
in Australia Good Friday is a public holiday, and a true public
holiday as in 90 odd percent of things are in fact closed, all
supermarkets are closed are is pretty much all other stores, service
stations are opened, buses and trains run and taxis operate, most
take away shops are opened fish and chip shops do a roaring trade on
this day. All shopping centres aka malls in some countries are
closed.
The
same goes for Easter Sunday.
I sure wish Good Friday was celebrated like that here. Have a blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you I have had a good day
DeleteHi, Jo-Anne!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have a problem avoiding meat every single day of the year because I am vegetarian. However, my doctor advises me to eat meat and Mrs. Shady kicks my butt if I don't eat the roasts she puts in front of me. Therefore, to keep the peace, I eat meat when she cooks it.
I hope you are enjoying your Good Friday down under and I wish you and your wonderful family a very happy Easter, dear friend Jo-Anne!
Thanks I like a good roast
DeleteWe often have meatless meals. Actually had one tonight. I respect you sticking with your tradition of not eating meat.
ReplyDeleteR
Same here I often have meals without meat
DeleteWe don't eat meat on Good Friday either Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteThe reason! Tried to look it up but doesn't seem to be a simple explanation or a short one.
I know it is confusing but do we need to know the reason why can't we just accept that, that's how it is
DeleteGood Friday is not a public holiday in my country. But Christian schools apply for holiday on this day. Any celebration is confirmed within the church. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteI have had a good day thank you
DeleteI'm not Catholic, I grew up Episcopalian, but my FIL (who stepped in as my dad when my dad died in my 20's) was Catholic, and he taught me that meat was considered not only delicious but also a treat, so to give it up was a way to show penance during lent. Have a Good Friday and Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteWell that makes sense, my Good Friday was good and I expect the rest of Easter to also be good
DeleteHope you have a lovely Easter weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so far so good hope the same goes for you
DeleteGood Friday, Holy Saturday and Blessed Easter...He is Risen.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, it all used to be a holiday. But now it is secular. Stores are still open - not even knowing or even caring, what it all means.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is the way so many places are going and it is so wrong
