I keep to traditions and rituals, as I seriously lack religious belief.
Rituals and traditions are strong on the sea-front where I grew up.
I came aware of the saint day by reading my favourite blogs, first Willym then Teresa.
They both mentionned Santa Lucia today.
For Marseilles folks it is a small shell that is lucky to have in the purse, or a bag,
because simply it keeps light for us. The symbolic aspect is marvellous . I took that photo one day because this stool might disappear,and I often give this shell as a small token of frienship , so it means something to me.
Having met Mrs Villazon twice and having seen her lately in Marseilles, I deeply wish her a happy Santa -Lucia day and send her the story of this tiny shell which keeps lux for us !
Not without this song and Luciano!
