When does a day officially begin?

[EphelDuath]

i.e., my only opportunity to eat dinner tonight is at 9:00pm, after the Holy Thursday Mass. So when does the fasting for Good Friday officially begin? 12:00am, or after the Mass of the Last Supper?

We have always observed 12am in my family and although I have not heard otherwise, when it was not inconvenient I sometimes begin on Thursday evening, but I hope you feel free to have supper!

even in the traditional practice fasting has generally been from midnight. so Friday begins at midnight for that purpose.

If you want to be technical about it then yes, midnight. You could also say that after the last meal on Thursday is the beginning of your fast, whatever time may that be.

I agree, midnight.
I always five minute after midnight another day , must eat something.
Cocholade, or wine grapes.
