Fish Fridayについて。
この風習知らなかった。キリスト教関連の記念日は面白いものが多くて好き。
denomination
意味 [C]宗派, 教派 (sect よりも大きい)
That is if you follow one of the denominations of Christianity. The tales of Good Friday – and why we call it Good Friday – and the resurrection on Easter Sunday are more than well-known.

聖書エピソード面白いので教会行ってみたいんだけど、宗派が~とか牧師毎に解釈違う~とかでなかなか第一歩が難しい。

crucifixion
意味 [the C-](はりつけによる) キリストの処刑 [受難].
Jesus’ crucifixion took place on a Friday – Good Friday – and the son of God was killed for our sins on this day. His death was, it’s said, a sacrifice made to absolve humanity of its sins.

だから肉を控えよう、になるのか。
amphibian
意味 [通例~s][動] 両生動物; (一般に) 水陸両生の生物.
People are told to go for the alternative which is fish. As amphibians, they are cold-blooded, and are thought of as a different kind of flesh.
