Feast of the Seven Fishes is a tradition that originated in Southern Italy and is celebrated on Christmas Eve with a 7-course seafood dinner to commemorate the wait of the midnight birth of baby Jesus. Because Christmas Eve is a vigil or fasting day, the abundance of seafood reflects the observance of abstinence from meat until the feast of Christmas Day itself.
