St Lucy

Today is St Lucy’s Day. So it seemed very fitting to pop into one of favourite morning coffee spots this morning, St Lucy!

St Lucy the coffee shop make very tasty coffee and are very friendly

St Lucy the saint “was a young women, a Christian before Christianity was widely accepted, who gave her entire dowry to the poor. Where there was great poverty in Sweden, she arrived with a ship-load of food to feed the hungry. Soon after that, she was martyred for her Christian beliefs. Her halo is symbolised by the crown of lights. Traditionally, the St. Lucia Crown is covered in evergreen boughs and holds four candles, just like the Advent wreath.” (Source: The Whole Christmas Treasury book, revised and expanded, circa 1988)
