On Good Friday, devout Catholics go to the Stations of the Cross in their local church. There, the priest stands in front of each of the the stations and leads the prayers while the faithful, armed with rosaries, recite the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary.
Afterwards the participants go home to a fish dinner. Of course there is bacala. A new type of fish dinner for Americans is poke. Poke is a Hawaiian salad made with marinated raw fish and Chinese rice, vegetables and seasonings. It is not bad and is starting to turn up in the shopping malls of New Jersey.
Of course, during my extended youth, I can remember celebrating Good Friday at a go go bar with friends. Youth.
