Sponsored by St. Andrew Philoptochos

Order deadline: December 11, 2016

From Wikipedia: "Vasilopita (Greek: Βασιλόπιτα, Vasilópita, lit. '(St.) Basil-pie' or 'king pie', see below) is a New Year's Day bread or cake in Greece and many other areas in eastern Europe and the Balkans which contains a hidden coin or trinket which gives good luck to the receiver, like the Western European king cake. It is associated with Saint Basil's day, January 1, in most of Greece, ... the traditions surrounding a cake with a hidden coin are attached to Epiphany or to Christmas. It is made of a variety of doughs, depending on regional and family tradition, including tsoureki" - a sweet, egg-enriched bread.

Please place your order for New Year's Vasilopita with Petra Knox at 908-616-2182, or with any Philoptochos board member.
