Easter week
« on: Yesterday at 10:44:07 AM »
I believe it was in my pre-55 missal that I read the church does not allow abstinence or fasting during the week of Easter. I’ve never seen that before and was wondering how does that work with Friday?

Every day of the octave of Easter is a first class feast. It is a continuation of the Easter festivity. You don't fast and abstain on those. (at least they don't at the seminary). Likewise, for example, if Christmas fell on a Friday. In Gueranger's Liturgical Year, he said that in former times, the whole week was a feast where Christians rested from servile labor. Legal proceedings and military campaigns were put on hold.
