Worshipers gather in Allegheny Commons Park West for Easter Sunday sunrise service
Here in Pittsburgh for Eater Sunday, morning mass was held at Saint Alexis Church in Wexford, and on Sunday afternoon, Bishop David Zubik of the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese concluded the holy weekend with a family blessing at Saint Paul Cathedral. Meanwhile, people gathered to watch the sun rise to celebrate Christ's resurrection in Allegheny Commons Park West. It was part of the Northside Easter sunrise service by Lake Elizabeth in the park for what is a significant day for Christians here and around the world. They celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. Today's service was fitting as those gathered to celebrate the resurrection, as the sun came up at the park on Easter Sunday. Of course, many will also head to church today to celebrate the holiday with family and loved ones. The Easter blessing of families with Bishop Zubik will take place at St. Paul Cathedral, the mother church of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, this afternoon from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Also, on this Easter Sunday, Pope Francis gave the traditional blessing from the Vatican. It's the highest-profile appearance since he was discharged from the hospital weeks ago.

KDKA Fish Fry Guide brought to you by Eat n' Park Check our Eat'n Park's featured items for the Lenten season here. Why are fish fries popular in Pittsburgh? Western Pennsylvania's Roman Catholic community is vast and tightknit. Each year, during the Lenten season, that community – plus, other Christian faithful and supporters – come together for the fish fry. Giving up meat and eating fish on Fridays during Lent is a tradition for those of the Roman Catholic faith. Fasting and abstaining from certain foods has been a part of Christianity from its very beginnings, according to the U.S. Catholic. Forgoing meat on the Fridays of Lent is significant for many different reasons. It is much like the other Lenten tradition of giving up something of indulgence during the same time period leading up to Easter. Fish fries are, of course, very important yearly fundraisers for churches, VFWs, fire halls and more. But the fish fry also means community building, catching up with old friends and honoring long-held traditions based in belief and religious tradition ahead of the Easter holiday. The Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese is more than 600,000 strong. It stretches across Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and Washington counties. In Westmoreland County, the Greensburg Catholic Diocese has about 135,000 parishioners and covers other communities, like Armstrong, Fayette and Indiana counties. Plus, there are other organizations – fire departments, VFWs, elk clubs, charities and more – that host Lenten fish fries. Fish fries are about the fellowship, faith, friendship and, of course, the food. Below, you can use our listings to find a fish fry near you. Or, if you want to try something different, find a new one a little out of the way and venture there. It's a great way to spend a Friday during the Lenten season. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ KDKA FISH FRY GUIDE Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese All Saints Parish (Butler County) St. Conrad Social Center 125 Buttercup Road, Butler, Pa. 16001 When: Lenten Fridays from Feb. 28-April 11 from 4-6:30 p.m. Takeout: Order online or in-person Click here for more information.

Plenty of the fish fries across western Pennsylvania offer takeout. Some even offer delivery services. But if you feel like some homemade fish, there are plenty of recipes out there for a do-it-yourself Friday Lenten dinner. That includes from featured Pittsburgh Today Live chef, Rania Harris. A few years ago, she showed Team PTL how to make a scrumptious fried fish sandwich. You can find the recipe and directions here. If you are looking for some healthier options, she's also shared this recipe for Coconut Fish Curry with the PTL audience. Plus, Chef Bill Fuller, another friend of Team PTL, has shared this recipe for Roasted Salmon with Asparagus Salad.
