Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Tomorrow, I am cooking pork chops and black eyes. Does the cabbage have significance, Cay? We used to have turnip greens, but I don't think I can find those over here.

I'm making posole and chile verde (posole.. hominy or popcorn soup.. the popcorns have the same significance as black eyed peas)

Thanks, Cay. I think that we used to have turnip greens for financial security and black eye peas for good luck. I can find cabbage, so I will make the substitution (although I am not sure my dc will eat cabbage)!

Tomorrow will be kielbasa & sauerkraut for luck...and I can hang up my new house mouse calendar then, too :)

Definitely a cultural thing and I guess it's good any way you "slice it"
I hope everyone ate well and has a joyful, prosperous new year.
