Spinach Mother of Christ — “The Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ was very fond of spinach. This is as well a known fact in Nazareth today as it was 19 centuries ago. Her favorite music was that of the crude bagpipes of that time, and this also is a well known fact.”

— George Herter, Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices, 1960
