My Mom and I are having a discussion about when you can break the fast of Good Friday.

Decades ago, my Mom says when she and her siblings were growing up, they would take their Easter food to the priest to bless, and they could eat meat starting after noon on Holy Saturday.

I’ve maintained my habit of not eating meat until Sunday (or after midnight Saturday), not sure if it’s the rule or not .. and nothing’s published in my church bulletin about this.

She said that it’s been ok for a long time to have meat after noon on Holy Saturday (I’ve just done my own thing).

Can anyone tell me if there is a rule about this and what it is?

Many thanks, and Happy Easter.
