Zeppole are a typical Neapolitan dessert made with fried choux pastry, filled with pastry cream and topped with amarena and are typically enjoyed on St. Joseph's Day or on Father's Day in Italy.
San Giuseppe, or St. Joseph's Day, is Italy's celebration of fatherhood. San Giuseppe is Joseph, husband of Mary, and the Patron Saint of Sicily. According to legend, during the Middle Ages, Sicily faced a terrible drought where people survived on cattle feed alone. They prayed to San Giuseppe, who brought rain and saved Sicily from famine.
