Age Concern Fuengirola, Mijas and Benalmadena got the Easter celebrations started by celebrating a fish and chip lunch with live music from Barry Mac at La Sierra Golf Club on Good Friday.
130 clients enjoyed a two-course lunch and transport for just €15. This offer for clients was another of the charity’s social club activities that offers supportive environments and companionship of shared meals to older adults. During the event, lucky winners got to take home prizes of Easter hampers alongside Easter eggs and themed goodies.
Eating fish on a Friday has long been a tradition, but why? The tradition of eating fish stems from the Church’s historical practice of abstaining from meat on this day, particularly during Lent, to commemorate Jesus’ crucifixion.
Fish became a popular substitute, as it was considered a permissible protein source during times of fasting. This practice also reflects the symbolic significance of fish in Christian teachings and is linked to the biblical narrative of Jesus’ sacrifice.
Age Concern Fuengirola, Mijas & Benalmadena offer a calendar of events throughout the year. For more information, visit their website at www.ageconcernfym.com.
