Join us to celebrate La Festa di San Giuseppe or Saint Joseph’s Day!
San Giuseppe, or Saint Joseph, is perhaps the most venerated saint south of Rome.
In the 10th century, a drought caused a severe famine. Devotees of Saint Joseph prayed to him to bring rain, and in return, they promised to hold a feast in his honor. Rain and recovery from hunger did come, and since then, the ritual-feast of Saint Joseph has been practiced.
The prix-fixe menu for the afternoon includes a full lunch of traditional Saint Joseph’s Day dishes, wine, soda, coffee, and tax and gratuities. Raffle entry also included!
There will be a short concert of Sicilian folk songs presented by the duo Villa Palagonia and a discussion about Saint Joseph and feast traditions presented by Allison Scola of Experience Sicily.
Limited to 40 guests.
