Family Fun Sunday: Bread and Salt – A Russian Tradition
Location
Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens
September 12, 2010 - 1:00pm - 5:00pm
A centuries-old Russian custom continues today as hosts welcome their guests with a loaf of bread on a round plate with a cellar of salt placed on top. Platters and cellars that were once used by nobility—some of which are currently on view at Hillwood today—were often elaborately made of gilded silver and enamel. Join us in decorating your own bread and salt plate and perhaps in beginning a new tradition of welcoming friends and family into your home.
