Vasilopita

Today, January 1st, is the feast day of St. Basil the Great.  To celebrate it, Kanga made a vasilopita, which is a sweet bread with a coin baked in it.  We do this because St. Basil used to give the poor coins baked into sweet breads.
You were revealed as the sure foundation of the Church,
granting all mankind a lordship which cannot be taken away,
sealing it with your precepts,
venerable Basil, revealer of heaven.


It was very yummy!!

Happy Nameday, Daddy!
Love, 
Rosie
