Yesterday, March 19th, was St.Joseph Day. My sister bought two special pastries at Pasticerria Rocco on Bleecker Street. On the left is Sfingi On the right is Zeppole, baked to honor the occasion. “St. Joseph’s Pastries or Zeppole di San Giuseppe are traditional cream filled pastries from Campagna region of Italy.” -Click for recipe from Italian Recipe Book.
Nine years ago I photographed Carmela at La Tavola in Pittsburgh. These are all the breads she baked for St. Joseph Day. Here’s that post
Greetings from beautiful Ireland : How wonderful, St. Joseph’s pastries, mmmm! He is my patron saint.

Greetings from the beautiful garden of Ireland in county Wicklow. I hope you are well and staying safe Ruth.
There is so much going on with that statue. I would love to know more about it.
Yes…I cannot believe that I remember these photos. The breads like the one shaped like the staff of St. Joseph are traditional. Having worked in the steel mills I can appreciate the statue of St. Joseph the Worker. Looks like the plans to relocate the statue have gone the way of the mills. The mills were the life blood Homestead and surrounding communities like Southside. Not so now. The pastries look delicious. Thanks Mary and Ruth for sharing.
Beautiful pictures, the bread looks delicious! So impressed with the craftsmanship of the Saint Joseph The Workers Statue. Thanks for sharing!
