Looking forward to 2026? What better way to welcome the new year than by sharing a Vasilopita, St. Basil’s Bread, with family and friends.
The Ladies Philoptochos of St. Sophia, “Pistis, Elpis & Agape,” invite the community to take part in this cherished New Year’s tradition of faith, giving, and luck. Each Vasilopita is baked with care and carries the blessing of St. Basil the Great, the father of philanthropy. Tradition holds that whoever finds the hidden coin inside the bread will receive good fortune for the year ahead.
