Buona Festa di San Giuseppe! Happy St. Joseph’s Day!

Today is the feast day of St. Joseph, patron saint of carpenters, fathers and the family, among others. This day is celebrated as Father’s Day in Italy and is one of the most important celebrations in the Italian American community, especially among Sicilian Americans because it is believed that St. Joseph saved Sicily from famine in the Middle Ages.

Tradition includes creating a “St. Joseph’s Day Table” or an “Altar,” where a statue of St. Joseph looks down on a table offering of candles, lilly flowers, and food including fava beans (prepared for good luck), breads (crumbs to represent the sawdust from carpentry), and citrus are placed upon the table. The tables are three levels to represent the Holy Trinity. People traditionally give food to the poor. St. Joseph’s Tables are more than simply altars of food. This ancient living tradition is an expression of charity, community, gratitude, and devotion.

Buona Festa di San Patrizio! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It's a bit of a stretch, but did you know that St. Patrick was Italian? Just to give this theory some relevance, St. Patrick was born in modern day Britain to Roman diplomats and citizens, but was during his time, in fact, part of the Roman Empire. By some records, this means that he would be the descendant, like many modern Italians, of the Roman Empire!
