- Stories of the Holy Family.
After the Crucifixion, Jesus came to his disciples,who were fishing on a lake, and asked them what they had caught. On their replying "nothing",he told them to cast the net on the other side of the boat. They did so, and caught so many fish that the net nearly broke. Jesus, on their reaching the shore, lifted some of the fish and placed them on the fire to cook. The mark of his finger and thumb are still on the type of the fish, which is called "Blessed Fish".
