Happy feast day of St. Lucy. Found this picture, thought it was pretty...so put it up for you to see. Nothing much to say...other than it is my sister Johanna's birthday who was baptized on this day in 1991 shortly after her birth because she was not breathing properly. My father says that the water from the baptism pooled in her eyes...she lived and has the loveliest faun brown eyes. We believe this is due to the intercession of St. Lucy (whom she chose as her confirmation patron) on her behalf. She is the patron saint of those with eye problems (those of us with glasses) because she had her eyes torn out of her head before her eventual martyrdom. They miraculously were replaced, however, by eyes of far greater beauty (this is why she is always pictured with a pair of eyes).Well that was more than I meant to say...huh...got a little carried away I guess...anyway 3 finals down and two more to go...ugh...I hate these "academic orgies!"
