Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Spindles, if they were spending time with friends on Good Friday it seems odd to be critical of the food. I bet her lamb was thoughtfully prepared. As Dlish pointed out, it's interesting to see how people follow different traditions.

Will, Non-religious are of course welcome to share in the conversation - that's part of why I started the thread on TFP and not in some Catholic forum.

Dlish, I'd love to hear more about Ramadon traditions. Does it last for 40 days, too? Are there special traditions that start and end the festivities? Does it represent the days of contemplation Christ spent in the desert, or something else entirely? All I really know about it is that my Muslim classmates wouldn't eat all day, but they would wake up before dawn to make a meal together and stay up late cooking after dark, too. I'd love to learn more.

I'd also love to hear if there are any similarities to other religious traditions, perhaps to the Jewish Passover?
