Color of the day: Brown Incense of the day: Sandalwood Incense of the day: Sandalwood St. Agatha, patron saint of breast disorders, is celebrated on February 5. The custom on February 4 is to bake loaves of bread called "Agathas" that are shaped like breasts. These loaves are blessed and distributed to friends of an ill woman. Use any bread recipe that will hold its shape when baked. Make as many of these loaves as you can. Hold your friend's good health in your mind and heart as you mix the dough, knead, and shape it. When the Agathas are baked, distribute them to everyone who loves your friend. Tell them to hold her good health in their hearts as they eat. |
