Happy Saint Lucy’s Day

Sul mare luccia l’astro d’argento,
Placida è l’onda, prospero è il vento
Venite all’agile barchetta mia…
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Saint Lucy’s Day is celebrated most commonly in Scandinavia, with their long dark winters, where it is a major feast day, and in Italy, with each emphasising a different aspect of the story.

I’m not sure if anyone of you celebrate this day. When I was younger the school always organized a kind of performance with Christmas song, and we had white night gowns on or you could be dressed up as Santa’s little helper or a gingerbread. We always ate gingerbread and saffron buns afterwards! I promise, this is not a sect, it’s a tradition.

I want to wish you a happy Saint Lucy’s day.

Happy Saint Lucy’s day! I’ve never celebrated the day with any traditions. I don’t think anyone does in America. I’m so happy you shared that with us, though. I am Catholic, so I read that today was St. Lucy’s feast day, but I didn’t know anyone did anything to celebrate it like that.

Interesting! Yep, from what I know the tradition to celebrate this day isn’t very broad.

Happy to share it!
