Saint Lucia's Day,
also called the Feast of Saint Lucia, December 13 in Advent

to Christians hiding in the catacombs" using a candle-lit wreath to
"light her way and leave her hands free to carry as much food as
possible." Falling within the Advent season, Saint Lucia's Day is viewed
as an event signaling the arrival of Christmastide, pointing to the
arrival of the Light of Christ in the calendar, on Christmas day.
