In this way, it will be on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th that the faithful should not consume any type of red meat, because this custom is linked to the stage of mourning that begins last Wednesday, after Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus in which the latter is handed over to the Romans after the famous Last Supper.
“I had a great desire to eat this Passover with you before suffering. Because I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is the new and perfect Passover in the Kingdom of God, because one of you will betray me”, affirmed Christ during the last meeting he had with his apostles, the same one that concluded in the remembered washing of feet as a sign of humility and service.
