Second Advent Meal

The Second Candle reminds of the light and warmth that Mary and Joseph found in the stable.  

This meal was a little less organized as I only thought of the Mediterranean Platter at the last minute (needed kalamata olives, feta cheese, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki).  So here's what we did have: 

Flat bread

Rice

Mushrooms

Lettuce 

 Pomegranates!

 Dates!
