“Ortigia, Syracuse, Sicily. 13 December. The Festa di Santa Lucia, which commemorates the patron saint of Syracuse. The highlight is a procession during which an enormous silver statue of Saint Lucia is carried from the cathedral to the Piazza Santa Lucia followed by large crowds, some walking barefoot.”
