For some, at this time of year, it’s the nativity scene, the three wise men, gold, mir and frankincense. For others it’s decorating fir trees, yule tide logs, the holly and the ivy. But for us the holy grail is the holy grate. Some say it represents Moses shielding the burning bush, others think it is named after the Breton fire god Fior Gaard. What we know is that it is sacrosanct. Hail the Blessed Guard of Fire.
