Happy St. Joseph’s Day! 🇮🇹 During the Middle Ages, Sicilians prayed to St. Joseph for relief during a great drought and famine. He blessed them with rain and their food was restored. In the 1800s, many Sicilians immigrated to New Orleans and continued to honor the tradition of setting up large altars for Saint Joseph on March 19th (also Fathers’ Day in Italy). Today, St. Joseph’s day in New Orleans is also a day of celebration for Italian-American heritage, and the food and money offerings donated to the altars go to feed the hungry. If you visit a Saint Joseph altar today, be sure to take a goodie bag with you! According to Italian lore, the fava bean (the only food source that grew during the drought) will bring you good luck if you keep it in your wallet, and the bread is meant to be frozen until hurricane season. When a storm approaches, sprinkle the breadcrumbs around your home until it looks like the woodcarvings from Joseph’s workshop. The breadcrumbs are said to protect your home from storms!

The History of Zeppole di San Giuseppe - Red Sauce America

The zeppole di San Giuseppe are filled with custard or ricotta cream The Feast of San Giuseppe is celebrated every year on March 19, and is also known as Festa del Papá, father's day in Italy. The feast day celebrates Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary. But it also means one thing for Italian American bakeries: zeppole di San Giuseppe.

If your family celebrates St. Joseph's Day, please tell me about your traditions. What goes on your table? Asking for a family doing this for the first time. #StJosephsDay #StJoseph

Today is the Feast of St. Joseph.

Saint-Joseph is also an historic Northern Rhone appellation named from a vineyard in the area that bore that name. Syrah is the only permitted red grape.

Zeppole and sfingi are traditional St. Joseph's Day Italian pastries. I am pairing them each with the day, but not each othet. The #wine is from Francois Villard. Beautiful, balanced, with plenty of fruit and structure, a touch of earth and game and plenty of poivre. #stjosephsday

"You're not my Dad!"

How many times do you figure Jesus said that?
