Buona Festa di San Giuseppe! – Today is the feast day of St. Joseph, the foster father of Christ, patron saint of carpenters, fathers and the family, among others. This day is celebrated as Father’s Day in and is one of the most important celebrations in the Italian American community, especially among Sicilian Americans because it is believed that St. Joseph saved from famine in the Middle Ages. Tradition includes creating a "St. Joseph's Day Table" or an "Altar," where a statue of St. Joseph looks down on a table offering of candles, flowers, and food including fava beans (prepared for good luck), breads, cookies and wine that are placed upon the table. The tables are three levels to represent the Holy Trinity. People traditionally wear on this day and give food to the poor. St. Joseph’s Tables are more than simply altars of food. This ancient living tradition is an expression of , community, gratitude, and devotion.

Although we cannot celebrate today like we have in the past, we hope you can find or make a San Giuseppe traditional treat— , the delicious deep fried dough balls. IAMLA even has a virtual exhibit of St. Joseph’s Day Tables for you to enjoy at home: https://bit.ly/3lwj08L.
