To Marion Heycock, the showing of the holiday movie “The Feast of the Seven Fishes” at the John P. Cosgrove Center was much more than simple images on a screen. It was a reflection of her life as an Italian-American. The theme of the movie is the age-old Italian tradition of cooking seven different types of fishes on Christmas Eve.

Heycock, from Jenkins Township, and her daughter Carmel Shiptoski, said the meal always includes angel hair pasta cooked with garlic and olive oil. The other six fish dishes vary according to what type of fish is available, and requests from family members.
