Saint Joseph's altars
Saint Joseph's altars are traditional displays created to honor Saint Joseph, the patron saint of workers and families in the Catholic faith. These altars are often decorated with various foods, flowers, and religious symbols, reflecting gratitude for blessings received. They are typically set up during the Lenten season, especially on March 19, the feast day of Saint Joseph.
The altars serve as a way for families and communities to come together in prayer and celebration. People often prepare special dishes, such as zeppole and pasta, to share with guests, emphasizing the importance of hospitality and generosity in honoring Saint Joseph's legacy.
