Celebrating St. Joseph In the French Market

February 23, 2024
In the Middle Ages, a great famine ravaged Sicily. In desperation, villagers prayed to Saint Joseph. If the Saint would intervene on their behalf, the Sicilian people promised, they would honor him with a selection of their harvest from then on. The rain came and an abundant harvest of fava beans restored them. Ever since, Sicilians have celebrated St. Joseph’s Day. To mark the occasion, communities feast and offer alms to neighbors in the form of lavish dinners.

Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights Illuminate New Orleans and Around the World

November 27, 2023
Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights began in the French Quarter in 1945 when Andrew Bevolo, Sr., an Italian immigrant, revolutionized the production of gas lamps. He honed his metalworking skills while working for historic manufacturing companies including Ford, Sikorsky and Higgins. His master craftsmanship and artistic style were the perfect complement when paired with the talents of renowned architect, A. Hays Town. Together, utilizing a hand-riveting technique rather than brittle soldered joints, they created what would eventually become known as the original French Quarter Lamp.

From its development by the French through its period of Spanish control, then briefly back to the French before being acquired by the United States with the Louisiana Purchase, the Crescent City has indeed become a kaleidoscope of stories, folklore and legends. Even before it was founded as a city, the Big Easy which was then known as Bulbancha ("place of many tongues” in Choctaw) was an important trading hub by the Native Americans.
