When does fast end on good Friday?

[GoGoDiego]

Ends on Midnight of Holy Saturday. But it is recommended to be continued until after the Easter Vigil.

No. It ends midnight Good Friday!

From context, I suspect the two of you are advocating the same time, but the date of any given “midnight” is poorly specified.

I infer that you mean 00:00:00 Saturday morning, ie the moment just before 00:00:01 Saturday morning.

No. It ends midnight Good Friday!

I infer you mean 24:00:00 Friday night, ie the moment just after 23:59:59 Friday night.

Correct?

Right it ends midnight of Good Friday. But yes if possible - extend it until the Easter Vigil.

The second following 23:59:59 will be 00:00:00 of the next day.

The second following 23:59:59 will be 00:00:00 of the next day.

ISO 8601 allows for both, to disambiguate the usage, especially helpful when referring to midnight of a specific day (as, I infer, above).

And don’t get me started on whether midnight is 12:00AM or 12:00PM.

Yes 24:00 is the same moment as 00:00 which is both the end and the*** start*** of a day.

To be honest, I really don’t think the Church’s fasting requirements are very tough at all, so why do some Catholics think it’s such a big deal? You can still have 3 meals, one large and two smaller ones. Plus, you can still eat fish meat.

A real fast is NO FOOD. None, nada! Just some liquids. Would that be too much for the faithful to do for all Our Lord did for us, especially on Good Friday? Until your stomach starts grumbling, you haven’t really fasted.

well, my stomach is grumbling right now and I had a full fledged dinner just 3.5 hours ago. don’t judge until you’ve walked a day with appetite!
in all seriousness, you are 100% correct. the Church’s fasting requirements are really easy. I feel it is much more symbolic and an acknowledgment of the meaning of the day rather than an actual sacrifice.
