Happy Saint Lucia Day 🕯 The feast of Saint Lucia is an interesting mixture of the veneration of a Catholic saint, pagan rituals, and a reminder of light in the cold midwinter. Coffee in bed, with saffron bread and gingerbread cookies is customary, served by the singing saint, a young girl dressed in a white dress and wearing a crown on candles on her head. She tells us to have faith that winter will be over soon 🕯 My drawing “The Ghost of Christmas Past” was largely inspired by Saint Lucia and art prints and cards featuring her are available for adoption in my shop 🕯 CaitlinMcCarthyArt.Etsy.com . . . . . . . #caitlinmccarthyart #stluciaday #saintlucia #yule #yulealtar #yuledecorations #paganwitch #pagansofinstagram #witch #witchy #witchart #witchartist #witchcraft #wintermagic #candlemagick #witchesofinstagram #gothicart #gothicartist #witchlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CXcfk7xrPtG/?utm_medium=tumblr

December 13th is the feast day of St. Lucia of Syracuse, patron saint of the blind, who was said to maintain her sight after losing her eyes. Some say they were taken as part of her martyrdom torture. Others say that Lucia, wanting to remain single and serve the less fortunate, gouged them out herself and gave them to the man she was once engaged to as a parting gift because he found them so beautiful. In Sweden, St. Lucia is portrayed by young girls in white dresses with red sashes and candle crowns worn on the head head. She's also honored with these, St. Lucia buns! The recipe I used is from "Kirsten's Cookbook: A Peek at Dining in the Past with Meals You Can Prepare Today" from The American Girls' Collection. Kirsten Larson and her family moved from Sweden to Minnesota in the 1840s. I didn't read her series as a kid, but I did when I was older and started to get into my Swedish heritage. Happy St. Lucia Day, everyone! May she, the lady of light who saw without her eyes, remind you that wisdom and vision come from within. Blessed be. )O( #Yule #YuleTreats #StLuciaOfSyracuse #StLuciaDay #SwedishBaking #StLuciaBuns #SaffronBuns #SwedishHeritage #SwedishChristmasTraditions #Blindness #BlindHistoricalFigures #KitchenWitch #KitchenWitchery #WheelOfTheYear #TheAmericanGirlsCollection #ArchivedAmericanGirlsSeries #KirstenLarson #KirstensCookbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CmH5D7KvCSp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"May the blessings of light be on you - light without and light within. May the blessed sunlight shine on you like a great peat fire, so that stranger and friend may come and warm himself at it. And may light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in the wondow of a house." - Merry Imbolc Everyone!
