sicilian food for st. joseph's day?
Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
Evidently, Joseph (the one who married Mary) is the patron saint of Sicily. Legend has it that the island was suffering from a terrible drought. Out of desperation, the people prayed for rain and promised Joseph that they would celebrate a feast in his honor if the rain came. The rain came; so did the feast.
Tonight we dined on Sicilian baked fish. Seemed like a good fit for this story and for the carpenter's family, who undoubtedly ate fish as well.
