Join us on Sunday, December 19 at 4pm and discover the surprising stories behind some of our most cherished traditions from Saint Nicholas and the Nativity to candy canes and Christmas stockings.

We’ll explore how pagan and Christian rituals magically coalesced into the holiday we celebrate today along with a few less familiar uniquely Italian customs such as the Feast of the Epiphany and wearing red underwear!

Intrigued?!? Andiamo! Join us as we celebrate Natale and Capodanno together. Award-winning author, lecturer and photographer, Carla Gambescia, will be our guide to the holiday festivities!

This event is FREE to CCF Members. A Zoom link will be shared in advance of this special presentation.
