Facts and Quotes:

The rules of eating fish on particular days of the week actually started in Roman times, when emperors dictated that the people should eat fish on Fridays as a way of honoring the goddess Venus on the day named after her (dies Veneris). When Christianity displaced pagan religions, the Church transformed this pre-Christian ritual into a Christian ritual by drawing fish into the story of Good Friday and continuing the tradition of eating fish each Friday.
