No meat on Fridays used to be the rule, and maybe it still is for some.
I wonder if this is a purely Christian/Roman Catholic tradition or does it have its roots in something much earlier?

Sure the Catholics, like all religions, make it all up as they go along. Don't let it bother you too much.

I think it's even worse if you eat meat on good friday, haven't a clue why that is, especially when christianity promotes cannibalism
