Interested in Private Lessons? Thanks for sharing another unique tradition! Carol Lynn invites you to read.. Actually, it could have been a baby in your cake, carol. As I mentioned people used to put a baby feve which represent Jesus. How interesting that you Italian background brought that to you. For real one could break a tooth. I learn so many new things when I visit and especially the food recipes.
This was very interesting and I appreciate you sharing this history. I wish we had certain traditions we followed. Being able to learn how people do things differently. Hi Sylviane. Have to admit I know nothing of this holiday, but I love learning new things and everything here is a feast for those of us who want to learn about other parts of the world and other country traditions and recipes. Thanks for sharing such wonderful and enriching information. Barbara Barbara Charles invites you to read..
This is a one of them! Though the Roman celebrations are known for great excess, "Les Saturnales" also represented a wish for prosperity, health and peace for all citizens. During the celebration, the Romans would reverse traditional roles - masters would serve the slaves and they would eat together at the same table. The Romans also gave small gifts to friends and family during the celebration. The Christian tradition of Epiphany has developed over time.
The word epiphany comes from the Greek word "epiphaneia" which means apparition or manifestation. Initially, Christian tradition relayed the voyage of the three wise men to the birthplace of Jesus. In the 5th century, the identity of the three wise men was further explained and each wise man became a king.
These three kings represented non-Christian faiths and symbolized that Jesus was placed on the earth for people of all faiths. As part of the Concordat, the date for Epiphany was set on January 6th. The twelve days that are between Christmas Day and Epiphany represent each month of the year.
He got toad away. Something to say? Please leave a comment. The French have a bit of a reputation for mistreating their royalty, but fortunately these days, it is more about cutting up cakes than carving up kings.
The festival takes place around Epiphany, the twelfth day of Christmas, when the wise men visited baby Jesus.
