Light in the Darkness

Today, in many of the world, St. Lucia (or Lucy's) day is celebrated. In the old Julian calendar, the 13th of December coincided with the Winter Solstice. As with many holidays, the legends and traditions overlap from culture to culture, and it's not even certain that St. Lucia existed.

This doesn't mean we can't be inspired by her story. The legend of St. Lucia day states that she went into the catacombs, bringing food to the early Christians at a time when they were being hunted down and killed. She wore a wreath of candles on her head so that her hands were free to carry more food. In essence, she brought light and abundance into a place of darkness and despair.

Sound familiar? 

If you feel down this time of year, ask the angels to lighten your mood. If you feel happy and jolly, then spread it around and inspire others. You can be an angel to them.

Happy St. Lucia Day!
