Lent is a spiritual
season for many people
and comes with customs
and traditions. One
tradition, at least in
Roseto, is having
“Easter Bread” not just
on Easter Sunday, but
throughout Lent.
Anthony L. Ruggiero, a
very busy plumber-
electrician by trade, has
taken the tradition of
making Easter Bread to
a whole different level.
Anthony, who has a
detached building at his
home on Falcone
Avenue, likes to do
“canning” in his spare
time and uses this
building for his pastime.
He began about fifteen
years ago and he gives
his customers and
friends the “fruits of his Maria Cascario/The PRESS
