The Origins of Feasts and Fasting- Waukesha Public Library

Month Calendar | Waukesha Public Library

Join independent food historian and author Christina Ward for an exploration of the influence of religious and spiritual beliefs on modern American food culture. Ward will share the history of religious feasting and fasting from its origins to modern day—connecting Thanksgiving dinner in the Massachusetts Colony to a McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich. Food samples from Ward’s most recent book, Holy Food, will be provided. Registration is required. Register here: The Origins of Feasts and Fasting | Waukesha Public Library
