We were able to celebrate the feast of Saint Anthony at his church in Cambridge, MA. Saint Anthony Parish
Of course, we are all in the middle of a pandemic. Instead of a long line in the sun and then crowded into communal tables and large bowls of soup, each car was given a to-go pan of soup. (Open your trunks, do not get out of your car)
My mother missed the arroz doce the most. I missed the ability to mix the table wine with orange soda-a drink for old ladies and aspiring children.
We also missed the idea of getting together-although a drive thru line was a new experience! It makes me value the memories of actual experience even more, and makes me look forward to being able to do it again in the future.
