Get Ready For The 25 Days of Herbs and Celebrations of December!

Dear Folks,

25 Days of Herbs and Celebrations

Celebrating the Multicultural festivities of December, I thought I would pick an herb or spice which is referenced in the Bible (land of three of the Major Religions of the world) and used in many cuisines around the entire world, as a way of gathering together all the wealth of diversity around us - in true celebration.  (Pictured are Horseradish, Bay, Garlic and Syrian Oregano (the Hyssop of the Bible).

A note about the herbs and spices I selected. There is agreement on some of the herbs (garlic, onion and mint for example) and some continuing discussion on which plant the Bible referred to.  After many years there is a consensus - although still discussed by some - that the Hyssop of the Bible is Syrian Oregano (Origanum maru).  Since Hyssop (Hyssopus officionalis) is not indigenous to the lands of the BIble but Syrian Oregano is, I have included it as the Biblical plant.

I am including some of the most enjoyed songs of the Christmas and secular celebrations of the month.

Starting tomorrow, December 1st I will be posting a feature each day.

I hope you enjoy this way of celebrating the diversity of December.  I welcome your comments.
