Today we celebrate the Virginmartyr Lucy of Syracuse. Saint Lucy lived in Syracuse of Sicliy during the reign and persecution of Emperor Diocletian. She is one of the very few female saints who are mentioned in the canon of Saint Gregory the Great as well as Bede’s history. She was born to wealthy parents, her father a Roman and her mother a Greek. Lucy’s mother suffered from dysentery for four years and it was under the young girl’s suggestion that she and her mother pray to Saint Agatha who is considered a wonderworker. During the liturgy, the gospel of the woman with the issue of blood was read and this convinced Lucy’s mother to travel to Catania to pray at Saint Agatha’s tomb. While praying, Saint Agatha appeared to Lucy in a vision, foretelling her of her great glory in Syracuse, just as she was the glory of Catania. At this very moment, Lucy’s mother was healed. From this event, Lucy consecrated her virginity to God and distributed her inheritance to the poor. Having been approached by a pagan seeking her hand in marriage, she politely refused his proposal and he denounced her as a Christian to the prefect of the city and she was immediately arrested. The prefect condemned her to be defiled in a brothel, but she was miraculously preserved as they were not able to move her from the spot in which she was standing. The pagans then went to burn her in a pyre but the flames did not harm her. Finally, she was condemned to have a sword thrust at her throat, and thus she gave up her soul at 21 years of age. Saint Lucy’s name is derived from the Latin word for light, and thus she is called upon for healing any form of eye diseases. May she intercede for us always + #saint #lucy #lucia #saintlucy #stlucy #santalucia #light #martyr #virginmartyr #rome #roman #italy #sicily #syracuse #agatha #saintagatha #diocletian #emperor #romanemperor #bede #gregorythegreat #saints #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Syracuse, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFGTLMvGI-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🕯️ Happy St Lucia’s Day! 🕯

Yuletide in many folk traditions is a huge time for different kinds of magic, and that is very very true of Nordic folk customs. And as seems appropriate for the year I’m having, this year I’m thinking about Catholic syncretism of Lussi Longnight.

This is the night when the month of Jul begins.

Lussi is a spirit who rules over this night. Her name translates to “Light,” and she is known as a mother or queen of the vettir (spirit) and Huldrefolk. She would ride around the countryside with her horse of Yule Riders and look in to homes to check that everything is ready for Yule. This was also the night when the animals would get together and pass judgment on how their humans have kept them - a vestige of animist, reciprocal relationships. It is important to celebrate Lussi Longnight to preserve your health and have a good winter.

In the Catholic tradition, a young girl dressed in a white dress, red sash, and a crown with four candles. She still parades through the streets, and Lucia’s name still means “light.” She has the power to bring back the Sun. Lucy is the patron saint of the blind.

Together, these two form a powerful image for this day of celebration: we pray to them to bring back the light and to ease the hardship of winter.

Eyes on a plate: This is how one identifies Santa Lucia, the patroness of light, grain, wheat, and eyes. Legend is that her eyes were gouged out either to make herself unattractive to her pagan betrothed or upon her arrest when Roman soldiers could not move her from where she stood. She was a determined young woman with a lot of insight. Hers is a significant story related to faith and the winter solstice. Join me in NYC on Sunday, December 11 at @pastaeaternyc. Along with special guest @sciurca_sicilian_chef, who will be creating a traditional Sicilian menu for the feast, we will have a full four course meal, wine, live music, and an altar and presentation for Santa Lucia. She's a powerful protectress!

Solstizio Inverno 2023 in data 22 dicembre alle ore 04:27 ma attenzione perché, a seconda degli anni, il giorno nel quale il Sole raggiunge la sua declinazione più bassa sull'orizzonte quel momento dell'anno che gli antichi romani conoscevano come Sol Invictus, può cadere anche il 21 dicembre: vediamo insieme perché.
