 Mary of Sicily - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary of Sicily (c 1370—1402), Queen of Sicily, was the daughter and heir of Frederick III "The Simple".
As she was very young at the time of her father's death in 1377, her government was effectively taken over by four baronial families who styled themselves "vicars." In 1390 Mary was taken to Aragon where she was married to Martin "The Younger", the grandson of Peter IV of Aragon.
In 1392 Mary and Martin returned with a military force and successfully defeated the opposing barons, ruling jointly until Mary's death in 1402.

 Couscous, Up From Africa, at Home in Sicily
But now that the world has discovered Sicilian cuisine, the word is out, and many food-conscious tourists arrive with couscous inscribed on their lists of dishes to taste while on the island.
One school of thought believes that couscous arrived with the Saracen invasion in A.D. 827, and lingered after the 250-year Arab occupation ended, while other food historians claim that it was introduced (or reintroduced) only in the 19th century.
Once cooked, the couscous is turned out into a large bowl, the fish broth is ladled over it, and then the bowl is wrapped in blankets and left to stand for half an hour, while the grains absorb the broth.

 Adonai   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The council of Efeso in 431 defined the dogma of the divine maternity of Mary, but in an ancient inscription found in the Cathedral of Lentini, near Brucoli says: "Even before that the council of Efeso declared Maria Theotokos (mother of God) the holy church of Lentini worshipped her as such".
Since no other documents have been found stating this type of worship for Mary in Sicily the inscription previously mentioned takes us back to the period of Neofito and lets us understand that the place where Mary was worshipped as the mother of God was the sanctuary of Adonai.
It's just this singular Jewish name that is confirmed in a place dominated by the Greek-Roman culture that plays a determinating role for the authenticity of the tradition.
