A prayer for St Lucy’s day
May your candles be lit in joy.
May you have the sweetness of life on your lips
May your life be full of light in the dark of winter
May you have friends to share the light with

May you look forward to the light’s return as well as blessing the restful and pregnant dark.
Uh oh
