St. Lucy's Day December 13
Santa Lucia, or St. Lucy, is the patron Saint of December 13. She is typically portrayed as holding a plate with a pair of eyeballs on it, because she is reported to have plucked out her own eyes instead of renounce her faith. Prior to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century, December 13 fell on the Winter Solstice and St. Lucy's Day was more closely associated with Christmas.
