Why Do Many Christians Avoid Meat During Holy Week? The Tradition Behind the Practice

The tradition stems from the idea of abstaining from luxuries and making simpler, humbler food choices. Fish has historically been considered a symbol of sustenance that aligns with religious teachings, making it a staple during this sacred time.

At Aegean Estiatorio, we honor this tradition with carefully prepared seafood dishes that carry the essence of Mediterranean flavors. One of our recent specials, Bacalhau, perfectly embodies this culinary heritage—expertly cooked and infused with authentic Greek seasonings.

Whether you observe this tradition or simply enjoy exquisite seafood, we invite you to savor a dish rich in history and meaning. What’s your favorite meal during Holy Week?
