Saint Lucia's Bread


I made this traditional sweet bread for St. Lucia's Day in December of 2006.

It was delicious, and even though I don't think I'll be making it this year I wanted to mention it and post a link to the entry in which I wrote about it back then, just because it makes me happy to look at this photo.

I'm afraid that if I made it, I'd probably eat the whole thing. Do check it out, it's all about Saint Lucia and her bread and it is here.

Thank you so much for this Anna! First of all, your photo is lovely, you did an amzing job! Second, My mother's name is Lucia, and I am sure she does not know all of this beautiful information, which I can now share with her! I am sure her mother knew it though, who was much more of a devout Catholic than we are. This has touched me. My mom says she dislikes her name, but I think she secretly likes it!

Hi Sharon,
tell your mother I love the name Lucia!

Hi Chrissy,
I'm looking forward to meeting you too. I'm in Nina's class, how about you?
By the way I am nothing like a saint, not even close...
