Saint Agatha's bread
Saint Agatha's bread is a traditional Italian bread associated with the feast of Saint Agatha, a Christian martyr from the 3rd century. This bread is often baked in the shape of a loaf or a small round, symbolizing the saint's connection to the community and her role as a protector.
Typically made with simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, Saint Agatha's bread is sometimes flavored with herbs or olives. It is commonly blessed during religious ceremonies and shared among families and friends, reflecting the spirit of unity and gratitude during the saint's feast day celebrations.
