Viva Santa Lucia!

The Feast of Saint Lucy is approaching. On Sunday, December 10, join me in New York City for our annual lunch to recognize the power of this ancient patroness of light, eyes, sight, insight, and wheat. Lucia lived in the late 3rd century. An early Christian, she devoted herself to Jesus and his teachings during a time when Christianity was illegal. When she denied her dowery and hand to a young pagan man, that is when our story gets interesting…
