More about Ravolie St. Joseph
The patron saint of the family is St. Joseph. The day used to be an Italian national holiday but now is celebrated at the Spring equinox. Friends and family come together to celebrate with enormous buffets. Decorations are fine linens and tables decorated with flowers and decorative beads. Dishes are always meatless. The highlight of the day, both in American and Italy, are the special desserts that are prepared.
