Good Friday is a Day of Abstinence, and also a Day of Fasting.   

Abstinence obliges all who are fourteen years of age and over.  On an Abstinence Day, no one fourteen or over may any eat meat or meat products.

Fasting obliges all who are between eighteen and fifty-nine years of age.  On a Fast Day all 18-59 should eat only one full meal, and two small collations to maintain strength, and nothing in-between those meals. 

The Blessing of Easter Foods --- breads, wines, pastries, cheeses, eggs, etc. --- will take place at 4:00 p.m. Holy Saturday afternoon in the Church.

Just show-up with your baskets and put them on the lower steps of the altar to be blessed.
