DRIED FRUITS

These four are supposed to symbolize beggars, represented by four religious orders (Franciscans, Dominicans, Carmelite Nuns, Augustinians):
1. Dried Figs
2. Almonds 3. Hazelnuts or other nuts
4. Dried Grapes


Finally with these desserts, one drinks cooked wine, representing Jesus himself.
One must have a taste of each dessert to have good luck for the whole year.
WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
