Fabulous! I love all the festivals that bring light to the darkness. Can’t wait for the latke story and recipe. Also, there is one more feast day to add to the list. St. Lucia’s day on December 13 (which happens to be my birthday - this is Leigh writing) to commemorate St Lucy, the eldest daughter of the house would wear a wreath with candles on their heads and serve her family coffee and baked goods which generally included saffron rolls. I could never talk my mom into letting me wear lit candles, but I love that my birthday celebrates a martyr who would carry water and food to dissidents hiding in the catacombs of Rome.
