| Nov 20, 2017 at 22:20 | comment | added | Andremoniy | It is not an answer. Sorry. I am looking for any documented source for this tradition, not just common thoughts from somebody's head. Thanks | |
| Nov 20, 2017 at 22:19 | comment | added | Kristopher | When do Catholics believe a new day begins ? If it is like most people the answer is midnight. If you want the first thing in your belly on a given day to be the Eucharist then you shouldn't eat anything from midnight until the Eucharist is consumed. | |
| Nov 20, 2017 at 22:02 | comment | added | Andremoniy | @Kris: why it is FROM midnight? Why not form 23:55 or 00:10? Is midnight something magical?? | |
| Nov 20, 2017 at 22:01 | comment | added | Kristopher | Don't want other food in the belly when the "flesh of the Lord" gets there. That would be disrespecting the sanctity . | |
