Best Sources of free Images to use in PowerPoint Presentations
01.01.20 • #powerpointtips.
Finding license free photos on the internet can be difficult. Many good pictures are not free or not usable for commercial purposes – looking for good ones that are free to use can get exhausting. Therefore, we decided to show you our 5 favourite websites for free images that you can use for PowerPoint presentations (or for anything else).
1. Unsplash
Unsplash is an amazing resource for high-quality images, which can be used for private or commercial purposes and can even be modified. Pictures are distributed by photographers all around the world. Even though crediting isn’t required, it is very much appreciated and a way for the artist to gain more prominence.

The Pexels-License is simple – you can edit photos as you like and use them for all purposes. Crediting is not required. We adore this resource for its huge variety of categories and professionally shot images.
https://www.pexels.com
3. Freerange
Freerange images are distributed by their “in-house”-photographers or by the community. Just like the previously mentioned ones, it is free for non-commercial as well as commercial use – attribution not necessary. You can find all kinds of content in the photos, and the amount grows every day.

4. Creative Commons
CC is a giant network that was built to provide content that is free to use. They provide public licenses and a feature for searching pictures – where you can choose if you want something for commercial purposes, something that can be modified, or both.
https://creativecommons.org
Pixabay provides tons of pictures (photographs and also great illustrations!) and even videos. They’re being shared by a community. To use Pixabay’s content you do not need permission, and it is free to use for all purposes. Pictures and Videos can be changed and adapted as you would like.

6.PikWizard
PikWizard holds a large library of free and paid stock images and videos. The are images for which you need to pay for are labeled with "Premium". For the free images no attribution is required. What's cool is that you can directly edit the images on the site without the need to download.

The 10 best websites for downloading free stock photos.
One of the best ways of making attention grabbing presentations is to use eye-catching visuals. The most convenient way to do that is to make use of readymade presentation templates and high-resolution images. However, many websites offering stock photos can cost a fortune. Not only are the annual packages quite expensive but it is also quite annoying to pay a dollar each time you need to grab an image for a slide. This is why we have compiled a list of 10 best websites for downloading free stock photos for presentations. These websites offer free stock photos that can be used for personal and commercial use.
If you’re looking for a website that offers free stock images and videos related to any keyword you can imagine, then Pixabay is just what you need. Unlike expensive websites like GettyImages or Shutterstock, Pixabay offers high-resolution stock photos and videos for free without any strings attached. Images downloaded via Pixabay fall in Public Domain, which makes them free for use without attribution.
2) Unsplash
This is the next best alternative to Pixabay. Unsplash provides a collection of high-quality stock photos for free. The website is driven by a pool of expert photographers from around the world who have made their collection free for use for personal and commercial purposes. Unsplash uses the Creative Commons Zero License, which means that the images can be used without any restrictions or attribution to the photographer.
While Unsplash has a wide archive related to a plethora of topics, perhaps it’s the best place for downloading more nature themed images.
3) Death to Stock
Death to Stock delivers high-resolution photos directly to your inbox. You can subscribe to receive images that are periodically provided to subscribers free of cost. Furthermore, some photos can be directly downloaded off the website. While the photos provided by Death to Stock via email are free, you can optionally subscribe for a premium account for receiving exclusive images.
While Death to Stock does not require attribution for their photos, it might be best to read the end user license provided at the website to better understand the terms of use.
4) Public Domain Archive
As the name suggests, Public Domain Archive provides photos that are in the Public Domain. These are images for which all copyrights have been waived. You can modify, distribute, and copy images for personal and commercial use without any restrictions.
5) Picjumbo
Picjumbo is another great website for downloading perfectly captured images for your presentations. The website offers a combination of free and premium images. While the archive at Picjumbo isn’t as vast as many other websites, the image quality is exceptionally good. The proof of that is perhaps the fact that there were two and half million images downloaded from the website in the 2 years since its inception in 2013.
Picjumbo images don’t require attribution, however, as the website states, attribution/credit is appreciated.
6) Gratisography
Not everyone needs stock photos with business professionals in their tidy attire making those funny faces. Some presenters might want to tap into their wild side and impress their audience with some odd visuals. Gratisography is one website that provides just that. And the best part is that all images are free for personal and commercial use. You can search photos by keyword or go through some of the main categories to find what you’re looking for.
I personally think the images at Gratisography are not for the average presenter. When going through their archive I often think of the words ‘hauntingly beautiful’!
7) Morgue File
Morgue File is a giant archive of free for commercial use images that contains over 350,000 stock photos. While the stock photos are free to use, you might want to see the terms of use, as you cannot sell, distribute or sublicense images without modifying them.
8) Free Images
While the name of the website is Free Images the most important thing you should bear in mind is free does not always imply free of strings attached. If you’re downloading an image from this website, make sure you see the license to check if you need to provide attribution to the owner of the images. Furthermore, the website comes littered with premium images in search results so you will have to look around a bit to find the free ones from the premium links being displayed.
To see the complete requirements, make sure you go through the Image License Agreement on the website. Apart from that, the website is great for downloading high-resolution images, where you can get information right down to the camera, lens, focal length and other precise details tied to the image you’re downloading. All this information comes listed on each photo’s download page.
Image Credit: FreeImages.com/Artist’s Marie Jeanne Iliescu
9) Picography
Picography offers free and premium images, and you can also choose to sign up to receive free pictures periodically in your inbox. The website is a project from a Dublin based company known as ‘Hidden Depth’, which specializes in web design related services. This is perhaps the reason the available images appear quite creatively captured. If you’re a designer or presenter looking for inspirational images, you should pay Picography a visit.
10) Little Visuals
Due to the untimely demise of the founder of Little Visuals in 2013, it is no longer updated. However, the website still contains some amazing images that you might find worthy of your presentation slides. Photos at the website are in the Public Domain, which makes them free to use for commercial use without any restrictions.
We hope you find our list of websites for downloading free stock photos useful. And if we have saved you a dime and added some joy to your life in the process, don’t forget to share our post with fellow presenters.
Editor’s note: While there are millions of images to choose from, remember to choose wisely. For more information click here .

Another one worth checking out is Pexels . All photos on Pexels are licensed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license and so are free to use for any legal purpose.

There’s also a nice PowerPoint add-in for Pexels allowing you to search for pictures directly from PowerPoint, without having to switch to your browser. It also allows you to mark favorites, so that you can find pictures you already used again quickly.
4th May 2017 at 8:46 am
Oh wow – that sounds good – I’ll need to check it out. Thanks
17th July 2017 at 12:06 am
Thanks for the great list! Please also check out the world’s largest collection of free, public domain/CCO images, https://snappygoat.com/ , with 14 Million Public Domain/CC0 stock images, clip-art, historical photos and more, all in one searchable database. It includes an easy to use meme-maker.
17th July 2017 at 8:37 am
What a huge resource! We’ll certainly check it out. Thanks for letting us know.

I love this list! You may want yo checkout my site https://www.focusfitness.net/stock-photos/ if you’re looking for health and fitness stock photos
18th July 2017 at 8:50 am
We certainly will – sounds useful!
10th August 2017 at 12:15 am
Thanks for the informative blog! You and your readers might also like our new website, https://free-images.com/ (not to be confused with free images on your list) It searches through millions of high quality free stock photos, art and vector images. All images are public domain or CCO and commercial use is OK. No login or attribution is required. You can search separately for black/white, stock, vector or art images. Please consider recommending this website as a resource for free stock photos.
10th August 2017 at 9:29 am
That sounds useful – we’ll check it out – thanks for sharing it.

Good list Farshad. Unsplash and Pixabay are my top two choices, in that order. Compfight ( http://compfight.com ) is another interesting site as it lets you search the millions of photos on Flickr. And, you can narrow your search by license if you are searching for specific usage rights.

7th February 2018 at 12:10 pm
One more I’d like to add to the list would be Pikwizard: https://pikwizard.com
7th February 2018 at 12:13 pm
Some great images on it – looks useful – thanks for sharing Micheal.

Where to Find Free Pictures for Your PowerPoint Presentations (10 Great Stock Image Sites)
Find Free High-Resolution Images for Your PowerPoint Decks
by Avantix Learning Team | Updated September 27, 2023
Applies to: Microsoft ® Word ® 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 and 365 (Windows)
You can find beautiful free pictures that you can use in your PowerPoint presentations online. There are plenty of great stock photo sites that offer high-quality images at no charge. Images can make a big difference for audience engagement and can help your presentations look more professional. You can search for images on these sites by keyword and download images at different resolutions. Most of them allow personal and commercial use of images based on their license terms.
If you're a PowerPoint 365 user, you also have access to Microsoft's free stock image library .
Some stock photo sites have free images and may also offer paid images on a premium plan. For free images, there is an element of risk in terms of copyright (as many users upload images). However, the following sites have better policing, known copyright owners, review processes or business backgrounds so they have a higher trust ranking. Be sure to check the site's license terms when you're using images.
Here's our list of the best sources for free pictures to use in your PowerPoint presentations (links below):
- Life of Pix
- Morgue File
- StockSnap.io

The following are our picks of the top 10 websites (in no particular order) where you can find high-quality, free stock pictures for your presentations.
1. Unsplash
Unsplash was started by Crew, an online platform connecting freelance creatives with customers, that turned viral. It was started as a give-back project. Their images have a modern and artsy style and are high quality. Unsplash started as a Tumblr blog offering leftover professional shots for free. It has grown into a stand-alone website offering more than half a million royalty-free stock photos from contributing photographers.
Photo by Mo on Unsplash
License Details: Unsplash uses their own custom license, enabling free use in commercial projects with no attribution required (just like a Creative Commons Zero) but forbidding image compiling. Unsplash has recently added a premium paid version (Unsplash+) for some images.
2. PIKWIZARD
PIKWIZARD is a professional stock photo site with over a million free high-quality images in multiple popular categories. It's owned by Wavebreak Media, a stock video and photography production company led by Irish videographer and entrepreneur Sean Prior. The images come from various contributors, most of whom are known stock media producers. PikWizard also offers great image editing with a DesignWizard tool where you can add text to images.
Photo by PIKWIZARD
License Details: PIKWIZARD has their own custom license allowing free use in commercial projects, with a sensitive use clause. They don't allow resale or use in products for resale (t-shirts, posters, etc.), but those are the only copyright restrictions.
3. Life of Pix
Life of Pix is owned by Canadian digital marketing agency LEEROY and provides hundreds of thousands of artistic and high quality photos. All files have been submitted by photographers and are free to download and use.
Photo by Cyril Mouty on Life of Pix
License Details: Life of Pix images are Public Domain so they are not subject to copyright. This allows free usage for commercial purposes, no attribution required, but the site does not allow mass distribution
Public Domain licenses should be safer for commercial use since there's no copyright attached to the images. However, this only works if the contributor who donated them is the original copyright owner and all other required rights (such as model releases) are cleared. Since Life of Pix is owned by a reputable company, it is capable of providing trust in its free images.
BURST was launched in 2017 by Shopify and offers free stock images intended for e-shops and commercial use in general (although you can use the images for social media, blog posts and presentations). The site has a large library with thousands of high-resolution images with a current style covering popular commercial categories. Burst images are sourced from hired photographers and user submissions and all images are free to use.
Photo by BURST
License Details: BURST has two licenses: Creative Commons Zero (CC0) which is free usage for commercial purposes and a custom license which is almost identical to CC0 but which allows using photos in products for resale and has a sensitive use clause. Besides a no compiling term, there are no other copyright restrictions.
Pexels is a free stock photo site offering hundreds of thousands of royalty-free stock images in high resolution submitted by artists or added from other free photo sites. It was created by German twin brothers Bruno and Ingo Joseph. The images are beautiful and modern and all images are free to download and use. Pexels accepts user submissions but also aggregate images from multiple other sites which increases the risk of potential copyright or right of privacy infringements.
Photo by Marta Dzedyshko on Pexels
License Details: Pexels photos are licensed under Creative Commons Zero (CC0) so are free for commercial purposes, no attribution required.
6. Rawpixel
Rawpixel was founded by Robert Churchill and has thousands of trendy, authentic and high-quality images submitted by qualified contributors. It offers free and premium pictures and you need to be sure you search for the free images. Users are limited to 100 free downloads per user per month.
Photo by Rawpixel
License Details: Rawpixel uses a custom license with free usage for commercial purposes. There is a sensitive use clause and no resale is permitted.
7. Morgue File
Morgue File has over 400,000 free images. Most images are free for commercial use but check each image for any license restrictions. You will need to set up an account to download images for free.
Photo by Gary3141 at Morgue File.
License Details: Morgue File contains thousands of images that are free for commercial use but check each image's license for restrictions.
Pixabay is a free stock photo site founded by German technology experts Hans Braxmeier and Simon Steinberger. It is crowdsourced from a global group of users. The library is huge (over 1 million) and the royalty-free images are all available for free. Most of them are high definition and suitable for commercial use. Pixabay has a professional curator that manually reviews and vets images for technical quality as well as legal validity. There are also paid images that will take you to another site for purchase.
Photo by Amy Irizarry on Pixabay
License Details: Pixabay uses a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license so images are free for commercial purposes with no attribution required.
9. Kaboompics
Kaboompics is owned by designer and photographer Karolina Grabowska. It offers free high-quality stock photos with a natural feel and multiple subjects. There are more than 8,000 images in the library and the pictures are quirky and modern. You can even search by colour palette.
Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Kaboompics
License Details: Kaboompics has a custom license granting free usage for commercial purposes that includes a sensitive use clause. Images may not be sold as-they-are-downloaded (so alterations to the original file are a requirement) and redistribution is also forbidden without permission. There is also a warning about the commercial use of photos with brands or trademarked subjects on them.
10. StockSnap.io
StockSnap.io is a stock image site by Christopher Gimmer and Marc Chouinard who also developed the graphic design tool Snappa. The site offers free high-resolution images in a modern and trendy style. Users submit the photos and all images are free so there is the usual risk in terms of copyright. There are also paid images that will take you to another site for purchase.
Photo by Travel Photographer from StockSnap
License Details: StockSnap uses a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license so images are free for commercial purposes.
Choose Quality as a Priority
There are many other websites offering free images but these sites combine the benefits of quality, library size and trustworthiness.

How to Insert or Type E with an Accent Mark in PowerPoint (È, É, Ê, Ë, è, é, ê, or ë)
You can insert or type e with an accent mark in PowerPoint using built-in tools or keyboard shortcuts (including Alt code shortcuts). The letter e can be inserted with an accent in both upper or lower case in text boxes or placeholders on slides, the slide master or layouts. The following are common accents in upper or lower case – È, É, Ê, Ë, è, é, ê, or ë.
How to Fade a Picture or Part of a Picture in PowerPoint (Using a Gradient)
You can fade a picture in PowerPoint by drawing a rectangle shape on top of the picture and then filling the rectangle with a gradient from opaque to transparent. This technique is often used to fade an image into the background of a slide. Since the rectangle is placed on top of the image and then text may be placed on top of the rectangle, you may need to reorder the objects.
How to Lock an Image, Shape or Other Object in PowerPoint
You can now lock an image, shape or other object in PowerPoint. Objects can be locked in Normal View or Slide Master View. Only PowerPoint 365 users can lock objects to prevent moving and resizing. This is helpful if you want to select and move other objects on the slide or prevent others from moving or resizing an object. You can lock items using the context menu or the Selection Pane.

5 Free Alternatives To Microsoft PowerPoint
M icrosoft PowerPoint has always been the default choice for creating professional meeting briefs or fun little project demonstrations in schools. Its inclusion as a free service for students or working professionals makes it a no-brainer to use. However, for the general public, it can get quite expensive to pay for a subscription just to be able to create simple presentation slides. Although you can subscribe to Microsoft's Office Suite and get more bang for your buck, the pricing still doesn't hit the affordable range for most.
Fortunately, completion has been growing, and a sea of strong contenders offer similar services to PowerPoint. After considering feature sets, here are five of the best free alternatives to Microsoft PowerPoint. At the end of the article, you can find a detailed explanation of why we've chosen the services, alongside useful comparisons that may help you make your decision easier.

When it comes to productivity apps, Zoho makes some of the better ones in the market. Zoho Sheet, for example, is one of the best Microsoft Excel alternatives out there — owing to its extensive product catalog, there is a great way to view and edit presentations. The aptly named Zoho Show lets you design and demonstrate professional-looking slides, all without having to download the program.
Zoho takes a minimal approach to most of its services, and its PowerPoint application is no different. You'll find that most menus are contextually aware of what tasks you're currently performing, which helps keep unnecessary tools out of the way and bring the important ones in focus. There is also a huge library of customizable templates you can choose from, making it easier to kickstart your presentation work.
Zoho Show is completely free to use for individuals and offers unlimited cloud storage. No features are locked behind a paywall, and rest assured, you can fully rely on this online presentation-making tool for all your needs, be it for school or work.
Canva is a service that can easily climb up to becoming everyone's favorite once they start using it. While most applaud it for its graphic designing prowess, there are many other things Canva can do that you probably aren't aware of . Among them is the ability to craft beautiful slides for your presentations and projects.
By creating a free account, you can access thousands of templates on Canva. You can filter these by use case—maybe you need one for a professional business briefing or a casual one explaining why your pet dog is the best canine. There is a whole section of ready-to-use templates dedicated to mobile-friendly viewing as well, which is something you don't usually find to be as accessible with other tools.
Like most presentation apps, Canva lets you collaborate with your team members and work across devices seamlessly. The Canva app for mobile also lets you control your slides remotely during your presentation. Some menus also feature AI-featured tools to add one-click enhancements to your slides -- unfortunately, these are locked behind premium subscription tiers. However, for the cent percent of the population, Canva can be used without spending a dime to meet a plethora of creative needs.
Apple takes great pride in developing in-house solutions to meet every user requirement. While most of its products dominate the competition in popularity, the same cannot be said for Keynote , the company's version of Microsoft PowerPoint. The program was first released in 2003 with macOS Big Sur and has largely remained one of those icons you glance over and forget about.
However, recent versions of Keynote have made it a compelling alternative to PowerPoint. Not only is it pre-installed on every Apple device, including your iPhone, but it also works best with the iPad touchscreen. Keynote has a largely clean and professional approach to the built-in templates, but nothing is stopping you from going creative. Animations are one of Keynote's strongest suits, allowing you to create near cinematic-looking presentations with just a few clicks.
While you can still use Apple Keynote through iCloud on Windows devices, this alternative is clearly meant for people surrounded by the walled garden of Apple technology. It makes use of features like AirDrop, Live Photos, and VoiceOver — all of which are technologies available across Apple devices. Using Apple Keynote is completely free, and the app has easy exporting tools that make working with Microsoft PowerPoint less of a hassle.
WPS Presentation
WPS Office makes some of the best solutions for creating and editing documents on smartphones , but their service offerings extend to Windows, macOS, and even Linux. WPS Presentation is perhaps the closest you'll get to Microsoft PowerPoint in terms of the user interface and how most tools are bundled in familiar locations.
This PowerPoint app offers real-time collaboration where you can invite your team members and work on the same document remotely. Like most collaboration tools, users can leave comments to suggest changes or add information for other people on the team.
WPS Presentation is not the only free product; you can utilize every app in the WPS Office suite. Unlike most competitors, you don't need to download or use a separate mini-app to make presentations. WPS Office has a document editor, PowerPoint creator, spreadsheet manager, and other tools all within its umbrella. Premium plans for this service exist, but they mostly cater to unlocking features for editing PDFs.
Google Slides
As a netizen, you most likely already have a Google account. Not only is it required to make any meaningful use of your Android phone, but popular services that we take for granted, like Gmail and Drive, all fall under Google's umbrella. One such free service that the tech giant has at its disposal is Google Slides . While the barebones UI might seem lackluster at first, Slides has nearly the same level of functionality as Microsoft PowerPoint and can even be supercharged by add-ons.
All of Google's workspace apps, such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides, provide an intuitive way to work in a team. You can add comments, use annotations, and share the presentation with limited access to others. You can use one of the many predesigned Google Slides templates for simple presentations , or browse for templates that cater to specific needs. Being part of a bigger service catalog has its obvious advantages, such as seamless integration with Google Meet, Gmail, and other products from Google that you already use.
We recommend Google Slides to anyone who needs to create and edit PowerPoint presentations on the go and can't be bothered with working in a complicated environment. The service is also available as an app for Android and iOS, and you can export your presentations in a wide range of formats, including PPT, PDF, or PNG for individual slides.
To Pay Or Not To Pay?
You'll notice that all the services we've mentioned on this list are free to use. In fact, you can use Office 365 apps online for free — including PowerPoint, which makes purchasing a standalone subscription to the Microsoft PowerPoint app quite redundant. However, nearly every free alternative here short of Keynote also offers premium plans, but should you consider buying one?
For the vast majority of people who are looking for a robust software to create, edit, and share presentations with — these free options deliver exceptionally well in every aspect. Some apps like Google Slides and Apple Keynote let you work in smaller teams with the free tier as well. Apps like WPS Office and Canva tend to lock new and exciting features like AI tools behind a paywall, and while these are nice to have, you definitely can do without them.
If you're looking for a presentation tool for a company with multiple people, you can scale up using any of the alternatives mentioned on this list. Both Google Workspace and Zoho offer reliable and enterprise-level plans you can upgrade to. For everyone else — enjoy creating and demonstrating your PowerPoint presentations for free.

What is Good Friday? What the holy day means for Christians around the world
Christians around the world observe Good Friday two days before Easter, but what is it, and why do they commemorate the holy day?
The holiday is part of Holy Week, which leads up to Easter Sunday. Palm Sunday kicks off the series of Christian holy days that commemorate the Crucifixion and celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection.
"Good Friday has been, for centuries now, the heart of the Christian message because it is through the death of Jesus Christ that Christians believe that we have been forgiven of our sins," Daniel Alvarez, an associate teaching professor of religious studies at Florida International University, told USA TODAY.
What is Holy Saturday? What the day before Easter means for Christians around the world
When is Good Friday?
Good Friday is always the Friday before Easter. It's the second-to-last day of Holy Week.
In 2024, Good Friday will fall on March 29.
What is Good Friday?
Good Friday is the day Christ was sacrificed on the cross. According to Britannica , it is a day for "sorrow, penance, and fasting."
"Good Friday is part of something else," Gabriel Radle, an assistant professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, previously told USA TODAY. "It's its own thing, but it's also part of something bigger."
Are Good Friday and Passover related?
Alvarez says that Good Friday is directly related to the Jewish holiday, Passover.
Passover , or Pesach, is a major Jewish holiday that celebrates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt.
"The whole Christian idea of atoning for sin, that Jesus is our atonement, is strictly derived from the Jewish Passover tradition," said Alvarez.
How is that possible?
According to the professor, Passover celebrates the day the "Angel of Death" passed over the homes of Israelites who were enslaved by the Egyptians. He said that the Bible states when the exodus happened, families were told to paint their doors with lamb's blood so that God would spare the lives of their firstborn sons.
Alvarez says this is why Christians call Jesus the "lamb of God." He adds that the symbolism of the "blood of the lamb" ties the two stories together and is why Christians believe God sacrificed his firstborn son. Because, through his blood, humanity is protected from the "wrath of a righteous God that cannot tolerate sin."
He adds that the stories of the exodus and the Crucifixion not only further tie the stories together but also emphasize just how powerful the sacrifice of the firstborn and the shedding of blood are in religion.
"Jesus is the firstborn, so the whole idea of the death of the firstborn is crucial," said Alvarez.
He adds that the sacrifice of the firstborn, specifically a firstborn son, comes from an ancient and "primitive" idea that the sacrifice unleashes "tremendous power that is able to fend off any kind of force, including the wrath of God."
Why Is Good Friday so somber?
Alavarez says people might think this holiday is more depressing or sad than others because of how Catholics commemorate the Crucifixion.
"I think [it's] to a level that some people might think is morbid," said Alvarez.
He said Catholics not only meditate on Jesus' death, but primarily focus on the suffering he faced in the events that led up to his Crucifixion. That's what makes it such a mournful day for people.
But, the professor says that Jesus' suffering in crucial to Christianity as a whole.
"The suffering of Christ is central to the four Gospels," said Alvarez. "Everything else is incidental."
According to the professor, statues that use blood to emphasize the way Jesus and Catholic saints suffered is very common in Spanish and Hispanic Countries, but not as prevalent in American churches.
Do you fast on Good Friday?
Father Dustin Dought, the executive director of the Secretariat of Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, previously told USA TODAY that Good Friday and Ash Wednesday are the two days in the year that Roman Catholics are obliged to fast.
"This practice is a way of emptying ourselves so that we can be filled with God," said Dought.
What do you eat on Good Friday?
Many Catholics do not eat meat on any Friday during Lent. Anything with flesh is off-limits. Dought says this practice is to honor the way Jesus sacrificed his flesh on Good Friday.
Meat that is off limits includes:
Instead, many Catholics will eat fish. According to the Marine Stewardship Council , this is allowed because fish is considered to be a different type of flesh.
