i am Catholic and we r ...i am Catholic and we r fasting before Christmas (but not fasting like during Ramadan; we simply don't make parties, overeat and drink and so on), even on Christmas Eve we do not eat meat.
During lent it goes the same, but for 40 days, remembering Jesus fasting on the desert.
And for the last part of the lent, we shld not eat meat, drink and so on, even the portions shldn't be big.

and yeah Plato, i know in ...and yeah Platao, i know in that part of the world, ppl do not care that much abt it.
my friend was telling me that in the most catholic place in ur country, on Great Friday there was a big thing going on on the street, carrying the cross and so on. while ppl with the cross were passing next to clubs, patry wld just stop for a while, but right after they were gone, the misic, drinking and party wld carry on :o)
now such thing u wld not see where i come from.
but this is just a matter of religious tradition in different countries.
