Seasonal Customs at Carmel: Part I

Advent and Christmas in Review

Each year in early December Sr. Lucia spends a whole day in the “bread room” of the basement, where she has everything she needs to make enough Christmas bread to fill us up through all the feast days of the season to come and beyond. Smelling homemade bread baking all day is quite a penance during the fasting season of Advent! We finally get to enjoy it after midnight mass with Sr. Andrea’s homemade hot chocolate. Yum!

Note: For some reason the sound came out very faint so please crank up your volume before playing, to get the full effect. Thank you!
