The Exaltation of the Holy Cross, September 14th

September 14th is the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and there are many easy ways to incorporate this feast into your day!

Catholic Culture tells us that sweet basil grew over the hill where St. Helena found the Holy Cross, so in Greece the faithful are given sprigs of basil by the priest.  For tonight's dinner you could cook a basil pesto or a tomato basil salad (with the last of the summer tomatoes).

Since the feast falls on a Saturday this year, you may have time to make the following monkey bread recipe from Catholic Cuisine.   

 

 Enjoy this yummy cinnamon bread while reading the Tale of Three Trees to your child.  What a wonderful Saturday morning!!!
