About this holiday

Saint Lucy's Day (Festa di Santa Lucia) is a Christian feast day celebrated on December 13th in Italy. It honors Lucia of Syracuse, an early-fourth-century martyr, and is traditionally observed as a festival of light. Given its timing during the Advent season, it is viewed as a precursor to Christmas.
