Actually, look into it and you%26#039;ll find its not a living creature at all.



Eggs are just the placenta, not the baby. Eggs are farmed from hens who lay them and do not have access to a rooster, so the eggs remain unfertilized. So there was never any life in an egg, thus it isn%26#039;t against lent.|||The fast is only for red meat.



That means other animal products are allowed: cheese, milk, eggs, etc.



The red meat we%26#039;re asked not to eat: beef, pork, venison, mutton, poultry etc.



You can have all the fish/seafood you want, though. This is one reason why the fast was never much of a penance where I grew up in SW Louisiana, about 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico as the crow flies. We%26#039;d %26quot;give up%26quot; the red meats, but then we would have these feasts on all the seafood delacacies we wanted: shrimp, crab, catfish, scallops, oysters, crawfish. It was hard, but we somehow managed to choke all that delicious seafood down during lent. :)|||Usually the eggs you use to eat would have never become living creatures!|||Plants are %26quot;living creatures%26quot; too. Don%26#039;t worry about it. You can eat meat, just not on Fridays. Eggs are not really considered meat.|||(eggs are chicken abortions)



the only thing you cant eat during lent is red meat|||Yes, you can always eat eggs.



On Fridays, you are not supposed to eat beef, pork, or chicken, but you can eat fish and seafood (that%26#039;s why they have all those fish frys at churches in lent).



I did have a roommate in college who%26#039;s family ate chicken on Fridays, but she%26#039;s the only one I ever heard of who did that.|||That makes no sense. Just spend time praying if you want to fast look up catholic website|||lent is about giving some thing up for 40days %26amp; 40 nights as Jesus did in the dessert!



if you did not give eggs up then you can eat all you want!



Sundays do not count as they are holy days of their own %26amp; it is 40 days not 45 days|||Lent is a one of man made fallacies in religion, Find the word Lent in the bible or the action , you can%26#039;t .www.fbbc.com|||FRIDAY ABSTINENCE



Refraining from meat on Friday in commemoration of Christ%26#039;s passion and death. The custom was prevalent among Christians from the first century. It was extended to Saturday in the West at an early date. Until the apostolic constitution of Paul VI in 1966, all Fridays were obligatory days of abstinence for the whole Church, with the exception of certain territories that were exempt from the obligation. Since 1966, however, obligatory abstinence for the universal Church applies only to Ash Wednesday and the Fridays of Lent. To the law of abstinence are bound all who have completed their fourteenth year of age. The law of abstinence forbids the use of meat, but not of eggs, the products of milk, or condiments made of animal fat. The abolition of Friday abstinence is a common misapprehension. Friday abstinence was not abolished; rather the faithful now have a choice either to abstain from meat or perform some other kind of penance on Fridays. According to the Church%26#039;s law, the %26quot;substantial observance%26quot; of Fridays as days of penance, whether by abstinence or in other ways, %26quot;is a grave obligation%26quot; (Paenitemini, Norm II, 2).|||Lent is what you get when you baptize (by sprinkling) %26quot;weeping for Tammuz%26quot;. (See Ezekiel 8:14). It is a Catholic blasphemy, so if you want to play by their rules, give it your best shot.
