Good Friday (which is April 7th this year) is traditionally celebrated the day before Easter Sunday by Christians across the world as it signifies the day Jesus was crucified. A day of mourning often marked with fasting and penance, many Christians often abstain from eating meat throughout the lenten season since meat (fish is categorized differently to Christians) signifies Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.

No matter how you choose to observe Good Friday, these special meals are an effortless way to bring the family together on this important holiday.


We've also got plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, if you've got any plant-based pals coming for dinner. And if you're planning an Easter get-together, be sure to check out our favorite dinner and dessert recipes.
