Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent are days of Fast and Abstinence as referenced by the Canon Law post above.
Most Catholics still voluntarily observe the Fast and Abstinence on ALL Fridays of the year.
Wow! That sure hasn't been my experience. I've often had lunch on Fridays with Catholics who attend mass and they never seem concerned about abstinence. It's the kind of thing I'd notice since I practice it myself.

As usual, you don't disappoint when it comes to providing information, Salvation. Thanks!
I know very few Catholics who are aware that Friday abstinence is still required. I didn't know until a few years ago when I read it on FR. This is a good one to keep spreading the word about.
