In this episode, we’re exploring the Italian folk altar and the deeply personal relationship Italians and the Italian diaspora have with the saints and the Madonna.
We’ll discuss why sacred spaces can be found throughout Italian homes, from kitchens and bedrooms to shelves and small corners, and how these altars reflect our relationships with patron saints and the Madonna.
We’ll also explore the Madonna as a motherly and protective presence, St. Joseph and the home, what you can place on an altar, and the history of discrimination and marginalization surrounding Italian Catholic folk traditions.
