HAPPY ST. LUCIA DAY!
Lucia means "light". She is commemorated on the day of her martyrdom, December 13. To read about how this 4th-century Christian girl from Italy who died for her faith came to be celebrated throughout Europe and especially the Scandinavian countries, click here.
Some glimpses of my parish's St. Lucia celebration...
After our Lucia Procession, we had a reception for all the families. Coffee and Lucia Buns were served, and a very special visitor showed up...
He brought lots of gold coins!
