Easter has always been tied to the moon because the Jewish calendar is based on the cycles of the moon. This means that Easter could fall on any day of the week. In 325 at the Council of Nicaea, the Bishops worked out an agreement that Easter would always be observed on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.
Good Friday is a day of fasting for many Christians around the world, although hot cross buns for breakfast are the one traditional luxury. I wish I had one right now! But somehow, eating meat does not seem right today. I think I'll make plain pasta with tomatoes and olives for dinner. Well, simple can still be tasty.
