At St. Mary Protection, a Greek-Catholic church in Kingston, PA, it was the day to pick up homemade nut, poppyseed, and cheese rolls, bread, fruit cake, and kolacky for Christmas. Joe N. is in charge of the baking, which is done in the social hall kitchen. His wife Jean, shown seated, handles all the other many details. By noon, when I got there, many of the boxed orders had already been picked up, despite the ice that is still everywhere. The raisin bread above was still warm from the oven. Since first writing about the church, I've been buying seasonal goodies there. All are delicious. My trips up north keep me in touch with the good people of the parish and always bring back warm memories of the late, and wonderful, Father Ted.
