Last Wednesday, March 2, began the Lent for the community catholicis called that because it refers to the 40 days of the flood, 40 years of the Jewish people in the desert, 40 days of Moses and Elijah on the mountain, as well as the 40 days of Jesus in the desert.
The Ash Wednesday It is characterized, according to the Catholic tradition, since people place a cross of ashes on their foreheads, which is obtained from the incineration of the palms blessed in the Palm Sunday of the previous liturgical year.
One of the characteristic traditions of the Lent is to not eat red meat on Fridays until the end of the Holy Weekthat is why we explain the meaning of this tradition.
Easter 2022: This is the reason why red meat should not be eaten on Fridays during Lent
The Red meat symbolizes a sin and a luxury to those who according to the Catolic religion must be waived during Lentsince they are times of reflection and repentance for the sins previously committed.
This tradition refers to the fast that he made Jesus during the 40 days he stayed in the desert, so people over 14 must refrain from eating Red meat on Fridays and adults over the age of 18 must fast on that day.

It is worth mentioning that the Red meat in those days it was very expensive, and shellfish and fish were relatively less expensive. That is why currently the Friday It is customary to consume fish, shellfish or chicken, although they are foods that not all families, at least Mexican ones, have access to.
