St. Lucia Feast Day

Feast of St. Lucy

Feast Day: December 13

Relying on Your goodness, O God, we humbly ask you, by the intercession of your servant, Saint Lucy, to give perfect vision to our eyes, that we may serve for your greater honor and glory. And we pray for the salvation of our souls in this world, that we may come to the enjoyment of the unfailing light of the Lamb of God in heaven. St. Lucy, virgin and martyr, hear our prayers and answer our petitions.  ~ Amen.

I don't remember what year these photos of my middle daughter were taken but she was probably five or six years of age. She's twelve now. We had a little party at our house complete with:

• empty tiolet paper rolls spray-painted red...the "fire" was candy wrapped in yellow tissue paper...these served as party favors for our guests
• refreshments were doughnuts with green frosting, red hot candies (for berries) and birthday cake candles
