St. Joseph Altars: New revelations about the traditions and culture

Errol Laborde’s latest video focuses not on Carnival, but about a lesser-known holiday with just as much history: St. Joseph’s Day. The Sicilian holiday is marked by a time-honored tradition, the St. Joseph’s Day altars, which are assembled by local families and organizations as an offering to Saint Joseph himself.

Errol chronicles some of the highlights of the Italian holiday and what to look forward to this year on March 19. Check out the video here.
