on 11/13/2007 In Ireland we celebrate her too. Lucy is the name there but it's the same girl. Back in the day, before the Gregorian calender was introduced, Dec 13 was the longest night of the year -- fitting since she's the parton saint of blindness.
on 12/13/2006 Santa Lucia is the Bringer of Light into the darkness,and as such a tradition well worth keeping up.The Scandinavian winters are long,dark and cold,and Santa Lucia brings in the Hope,the Light and the Strength to go on...she is celebrated in all Scandinavian countries,not only Sweden.
on 11/22/2005 To celebrate the patron saint of Sicily, Santa Lucia, Sicilians bake a special cookie that is shaped like an eye. Santa Lucia is the protector of eyesight. The cookies are fried and eaten while still warm.
on 11/22/2005 The Feast di Santa Lucia is also celebrated on December 13th in Sicily. St. Lucy, the patron saint of Sicily, gave her sight to God. Each year, she rides her incredibly intelligent donkey through the world leaving tiny gifts and sweets for good children.
