Your home will be filled the sweet smell of brown sugar and fig, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Saints Joachim and Ann are wonderful figures that remind us of the importance in having faith and love for God through hard times. How sweet it must have been for them to experience the gift of a child after being childless for so long. The relationship between them and the Virgin Mary must have been one filled with so much warmth and love, and as the patrons of grandparents we can only imagine how wonderful it must have been to be the grandparents of Jesus. It seemed fitting this sweet and warm aroma should pay tribute to the grandparents of Christ.
