Christmas Eve (Christianity) and its related observances: Feast of the Seven Fishes (Italian Americans)

The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian American celebration of Christmas Eve with dishes of fish and other seafood. It is not a "feast" in the sense of "holiday", but rather a grand meal. Christmas Eve is a vigil or fasting day, and the abundance of seafood reflects the observance of abstinence from meat until the feast of Christmas Day itself.
