Good Friday and Easter creeps near

SO its Good Friday and soon enough it going to be Easter.

One thing rings in my mind tho
Im not questioning any religion. Its just a thought.
But
Why is it Catholics are not supose to eat meat on this day?
And why do they give out eggs on easter?

U may ask why i ask this quetions.
My answer is.
What significance does not eating meat for a day and hard boiled eggs have to do with the death and resurection of our Jesus Christ?
I for one cannot find any link .
Can you?

Then if we as people cannot find the link between nor can they explain why they do it then what is the point of doing it?
What is the meaning to do it if we dont understand what we are doing?
If anyone can answer my questions id like to hear it =) thanks .

Curiosity finds one answers.
Not being curious gets one killed .

It was a sort of penitince and sacrifice by the rich as giving up meat on Fridays (not just Good Friday) was considred a sacrifice since meat was once very expensive luxury food. Very few people were able to afford it and abstaining was a form of humility. Coz GOod Friday is a solemn day in which Jesus died and therefore it is, in a way, a sign of respect for Jesus that we give up meat on that day.
