love the idea of family feast days. We host family often (constantly lol) but we've really wanted to sort of turn some of those gatherings into something more, like low-key rituals. So this is really great.
I appreciate the balance you strike between the ideals of rich feasts, full of traditions, with celebrations that are easier to execute. We're Anglican (ACNA), not Catholic, but still delight in the cycle of the Church calendar. For our family feast days--including many of the saints we just love, but who often don't have specific traditions we link with them (St. Leoba, St. Margaret of Scotland, and many others), my default is cake. Any kind of cake, without any special decoration.
Our family isn’t catholic but we’ve started implementing some of the feast days as it relates and ties into my husbands culture. We recently celebrated St. Jordi’s (St. George) in conjunction with world book day because in Spain (where my husbands family is from) they combine it and its called the “Day of Books and Roses”.
