    Friday. This is the day that Christ died, so abstaining from the shedding (and consuming) of blood seems appropriate. fasting and abstaining also takes place during Lent.

    • Not ingesting blood is a prohibitions in the Old Testament, and apply to ANY day. It is mentioned numerous times and is the reason animals must have their blood drained before slaughtering to be kosher.
