New on TikTok: Origins (1st-4th Centuries): No formal universal code existed, but weekly fasting/abstinence on Wednesdays (betrayal) and Fridays (Crucifixion) was widespread by the 2nd-4th centuries (e.g., Didache shifted Jewish Monday/Thursday fasts; St. Epiphanius in 367-403 AD noted Wednesday/Friday fasts until the ninth hour ~3 PM). • 5th-8th Centuries: Strict—often “black fast” (no food until evening/sunset, dry bread/vegetables only). Fridays were days of abstinence/fasting year-round, plus Lent/Ember Days/vigils. No meat, eggs, dairy common in stricter practices. • 9th-13th Centuries: Moderated—one full meal at noon/3 PM, small collation evening. Abstinence from meat standard on Fridays (universal custom, not yet codified in a single “CCC”—first councils like Toledo 646 AD enforced it). Ember Wednesdays/Fridays/Saturdays added. Vigils (e.g., Christmas/Assumption) full fast/abstinence. : Pre-Friday Fast Date Nights for Spiritual Intimacy – Catholic Romance Ideas 2025 Unlock the ultimate Trad-Cath Thursday night out before Friday abstinence—blend candlelit dinners, prayer reflections, and holy romance like Anthony and his wife do!
