When is Gingerbread House Day?
Tuesday December 12thOn December 12th, Gingerbread House Day in the United States honors a family's holiday.
Around 992 AD, an Armenian monk, Gregory of Nicopolis, introduced gingerbread to Europe and taught French Christians how to bake it. Monks baked to be tough enough to be turned into saint portraits since gingerbread was often used in religious ceremonies.
We should still thank the Brothers' Grimm for a gingerbread house, but we can't. They introduce an evil witch who lives in a gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel's story.. The German gingerbread guilds didn't take long to understand the concept. They put gingerbread houses to a more festive use soon, when making snowy cottages made from the spicy-sweet treat.
We'll be baking, cutting, and building to our hearts' delight today. Kits take some steps out of the process so we can get to constructing our winter wonderlands right away.
HOW TO OBSERVE #GingerbreadHouseDay is a newspaper distributed in the United States.
