Christian meals and/or foods linked to Jesus Christ in the New Testament and the saints?
Can anyone link me to a source for Christian meal foods that can be linked to a particular day in the life of Jesus and particular events in the lives of Christian saints.

Can anyone link me to a source for Christian meal foods that can be linked to a particular day in the life of Jesus and particular events in the lives of Christian saints.
In the event that such sources do not exist can anyone point out if such cases are adequately known to exist?
Allow me to make three suggestions as to what I am getting at.
- 1. At Easter, it is traditional amongst some Christian to eat lamb in remembrance that Chris the Lamb of God rose from the dead.
- 2. The day after Jesus's resurrection Jesus ate broiled fish and honey from the comb. That is right on Easter Monday. (Luke 24:42-43)
- 3. On the fourth Friday of Lent, in Oaxaca,Oaxaca, Mexico there is celebration of the [Samaritan woman](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritan_woman_at_the_well) who gave water to Jesus. The Catholic Church has this part of the Gospel read at mass this day. The custom of the day involves churches, schools and even businesses to give passers-by water and fruit drinks in honour of the biblical events recounted this day at mass.
I am not limiting this to events of the New Testament, but may be from the lives of saints.
I welcome input from any Christian denominations

Is it okay to kneel to propose to a woman?
I usually try to be very careful when kneeling down for things as I know the LORD only wants us to worship him and him alone. Now I love this woman I have been in a relationship with.

I usually try to be very careful when kneeling down for things as I know the LORD only wants us to worship him and him alone.
Now I love this woman I have been in a relationship with. I would like to propose to her.. and I know many people get down on one knee to propose.. but I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it but would it be wrong to do so?
Is kneeling only for when worshiping the living GOD?
Please advise.

**What is the difference between a Catholic custom and a Catholic tradition?**
I have noticed a trend in recent years to call Catholic customs a Catholic tradition (with a small t).
Much confusion is out there in this domain. Tradition with a capital T is less confusing for most with what a tradition with a miniscule t actually is.
The confusion I am seeing lately is confusing Catholic traditions with Catholic customs and Catholic devotions.
There is a French author out there that really explained this quite well and stated that a Catholic custom could not be considered a Catholic tradition (local) if it has not been around for less than 100 years. Unfortunately, I can not recall the source.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
I imagine some local customs are now considered true local traditions.
