Then suddenly from the South

and carrying tray of rolls. She
was Lucia, Goddess of Light who
dispersed the darkness and brought
food.
Based on this old tale, a feast
honoring Lucia is held on Decem-

are chosen to portray the Goddess.

a tremendous advantage over let

Many articles are damaged in

gifts should be carefully cushioned
