 In particular, between 18 & 25 March, as every year, the streets are decorated with lights, ribbons and objects, all made with bread.According to the classic Sicilian food iconography, bread represents the effort of workers and the body of Christ.For this reason, bread is respected and honored, and even today many Sicilians, as a sign of reverence and grace, before throwing away a loaf of bread, will kiss it.
