Today, December 13th, is the Feast of Saint Lucy (283-304 A.D.) of Syracuse, Sicily. She was an early Christian who was tortured and martyred by removing her eyes with a fork for refusing to marry a pagan, instead consecrating her virginity to God. She is the Patron Saint of the Blind. Saint Lucy is celebrated by candle lights in the kingdom of Sweden.Off the beaten path traveler Rick Steves who can be seen any day, anytime on PBS has a full program called Rick Steves' European Christmas (DVD, CD, European Christmas Book) with a special feature on the festival of Saint Lucy in Norway, among other things.
I went to the 7:30 am Mass for the blessings of my eyes. Amen.
"Those whose hearts are pure are temples of the Holy Spirit."
