<p>Catholics have been urged to give up meat or another favourite food on Fridays in the run-up to Easter.</p>
<p>The Most Rev Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster and leader of Catholics in England and Wales, said every Friday during the 40-day period of Lent should be marked by the faithful with an act of self-denial.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ancient tradition of the Church is that we do not eat meat on these Fridays,&#8221; he said in a Lenten pastoral letter to Catholics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let us take up again the practice of abstaining from meat, or another favourite part of our diet, on the Fridays of Lent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lent starts on Ash Wednesday next week and is traditionally a time of penitence for Christians in preparation for Easter.</p>
<p>There are an estimated 5.2 million Catholics in England and Wales.</p>
