Gingerbread houses are a favorite holiday pastime with families. These delicious, decorative bread houses have always been a staple of the holiday season. According to a French legend, gingerbread was brought to Europe in 992 A.D. by the Armenian monk and later saint, Gregory of Nicopolis (Gregory Makar).
