Risen Our Daily Bread 15

August 15th is Ferragosto, a big-time holiday in Italy that harks back to the Emperor Augustus and represents a well-earned rest after the harvest. It is also the Feast Day of the Assumption, the day on which, Catholics believe, the Virgin Mary was taken, body and soul, into heaven.

Is there a connection between them? And what does it have do with wheat?

Apologies to listeners in the southern hemisphere; this may not reflect your experience.

    What has the Assumption of the Virgin Mary to do with the middle of August? Is she just another in a long line of Mother Goddesses? Why is Virgo carrying a wheatsheaf?
