Saint Lucy
Today is the feast day of Santa Lucia, or Saint Lucy. She is the Patron Saint of artists and is commonly shown holding two eyeballs on a plate. Apparently, in the early days of Christianity, she was asked to renounce her Faith and she plucked out her own eyes instead. Before the Gregorian calendar date changes in 1582, her feast day fell on the winter solstice and she was associated with that event also.
