Fish is eaten on GoodFriday because it's similar to a sacrafice for God and what he has done to help our world, since so many people love meat and all the types of food eaten usually. If you eat fish and not eat any meat at all, it shows that you respect God. It's also, I believe, called fasting. You don't just have to eat fish on GoodFriday, you could eat anything that is not meat or anything that relates to fasting. It's not just on GoodFriday, its all fridays during the days of Lent.

∙ 10y agoGenerally, it is a Catholic custom not to eat fish on Fridays. Eating fish pickled in vinegar on Good Friday symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and being given vinegar to drink. It is eaten with hot cross buns. Together, they symbolize Jesus sacrificing his life for the sins of the world on Good Friday, and the cross on the bun symbolizes Jesus rising from the dead on Easter Sunday.

These kinds of questions reflect the kind of dead useless "religiosity" that Jesus came to ABOLISH!
