Preparing for a Feast: Profane
________________
Preparations for the feast of St Joseph also involve food:
Quite a lot of food.
________________
Vegetarian curries and rice will be prepared in almost industrial quantities
To feed people of all faiths and denominations.

Preparing for a Feast: Sacred
Today is the Feast of St Joseph.
Late on Thursday evening, a friend took me on his motorbike to St Anthony’s Church, Kannamaly – a quiet semi-rural backwater of Cochin –
Where preparations for the annual festival involve the entire community.
