What did they wear?
What did they eat?
How were the foods prepared?

We will cover the period of time between the Feast of the Nativity

and the Feast of the Resurrection and learn how pagan customs

became Christian Traditions among the Carpatho-Rusyns.

Afterwards we will join for dinner at a nearby restaurant.
