IS pickled fish COMPULSORY on Good Friday?

The tradition of pickled fish on Good Friday

Eating fish and hot cross buns on Good Friday is NOT biblical. It is a Catholic custom that started during the late first century. Members of THIS organization refrain from eating flesh meat on Good Friday, out of respect and honor for the crucifixion of the messiah, Y’shua Christo. The pickled fish in vinegar symbolizes the vinegar that Y’shua was given to drink on the cross when He was thirsty. The cross on the buns symbolizes the Saviour's resurrection on Easter Sunday.Together, they symbolize the sacrificing of His life for the sins of the world on Good Friday.

Since Y’shua sacrificed His flesh for mankind on Good Friday, Catholics refrain from eating flesh meat such as: beef and pork, chicken and turkey in his honor on Fridays. The non-flesh products of these animals such as: milk, cheese, butter, and eggs are however NOT prohibited. Fish does NOT belong to the flesh meat category, that's why it is prescribed on Good Friday.

BEFORE Y’shua ascended into heaven in 30 AD, He commissioned His apostles AND followers, to teach ALL people EVERYTHING that HE has taught THEM (Matthew 28: 19-21). BECAUSE the eating of pickled fish and hot cross buns on Good Friday was NOT a teaching of the Lord, the tradition is therefore NOT compulsory. Christians can eat ANY of the above meats OR fish on Good Friday. It would MOST definitely NOT be COUNTER productive to Y'shua's teachings.
