Saint Lucia (St. Lucy)
283-304
Feast Day: December 13
Patronage: blind, martyrs, Perugia, Italy, epidemics, salesmen, throat infections, writers
Saint Lucia or Lucy was a 3rd C. Italian martyr who brought the light of faith, hope, and charity to the poor and Christians in the darkness of the catacombs. Tradition has it that during a terrible famine in Sweden a beautiful girl with a glow about her head, came to shore bringing food, saving the Swedes from starvation. On December 13th, St. Lucy's Day, the eldest daughter wakes the household, bringing St. Lucia buns and coffee, wearing a lighted wreath on her head, a white gown, with a red sash, representing baptism and martyrdom.

lucia is always the blonde girl, the carrier of light, so you could call her lightner? i should think a better poem, i wanted to add the saint lucia song lyrics,but the version i know is in finnish sooo....
also from last year, this was inspired by noelles dark world outfit and her general winter connection.
i really like the wreath.
also this is almost rounding up the fandoms i mostly draw for.

Creepy take: Valak was killing the descendants of St. Lucia, so once he and Irene conceive, the only way her blood lives on is through the one heir who turned away from God, and through the bloodline of a demon.
