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
