Hello out there!!
Hope your having a great holiday season so far!!! it’s quickly coming to a close as it normally does which gets me sad but it’s not over yet! Normally for Christmas Eve the tradition for us Italians is to make seven fish dishes-The Feast of the Seven Fishes!
Now in case you were ever wondering there are several theories when it comes to the symbolism of number seven, just so you know we didn’t just make it up! One is that it took seven days for God to create the earth. Another is that seven represents the sacraments. In the end though, it’s all done in the spirit of the holiday and to refrain from eating meat on the day before Jesus was born. Some people in my family however do not enjoy seafood so I contributed good old fashioned Baked Ziti this year to the feast!!! Mangia bene!
