Like tucking into chocolate eggs, eating fish on Good Friday is an Easter tradition that millions of us follow. For centuries, Christians have abstained from eating meat on the holiday and opted for fish instead.
Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday, marks the day Jesus Christ was crucified. Catholics observing Good Friday will generally not eat meat on the day.
In fact, many Christians, especially Catholics, won't eat meat on any Friday throughout the year - and the reason behind this tradition is very much a religious one, reports the Mirror.
