Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for improvised fixes, clever storage, new uses for old things, and the small engineering people do without a title.
The feast day of Saint Lucy (the patron saint of the blind), and the namesake of Saint Lucia. The day is observed with a church service, and the tradition is to light candles (Saint Lucy is the patron saint of light), and to pray for the blind and the visually impaired. The Saint Lucy's Day is not just a religious holiday. It is a cultural institution, and the tradition is to serve hot chocolate and bread, and to give gifts to the children.
