في شمال إيطاليا، في بيرونا نحتفل بقدّيسة اسمها لوسيا. إنها أهم من قدّيس نيكولاس.

في يومي اثنا عشر وثلاثة عشر في ديسمبر، القدّيسة لوسيا تأتي على حمارها مع زميلها كاستالدو.

الأطفال يتركون قهوة للقدّيسة وطحينًا للحمار وخبزًا لكاستالدو. ينام الأطفال عندما تأتي القدّيسة، ويجب عليهم ألا يروها أو سترمي رمادًا في عيونهم ولن يستطيعوا الرؤية خلال مدة.

يقال إن شابًّا وقع في حبّ المُقدّسة عندما رأى عيناها. طلب الشابّ منها عينيها وأعطاها عينيه. ولكن أصبحت للقدّيسة عينان أخرتين وكانت معجزة. الشاب طلب منها مرة أخرى عينيها فرفضت وقالت إنها قد أعطته عينيها من قبل وهذه معجزة.

الشاب قتلها بطعن في القلب.

رُبما تعود هذه التقاليد إلى القرن الرابع عشر، عندما كان هناك وباء عيني وحشي للأطفال في مدينة فيرونا. بعد الوباء، قرر الآباء الذهاب إلى الكنيسة المخصّصة للقدّيسة بدون أحذية. الأطفال كانوا يخافون من البرد ولكن وعد الآباء بأن القدّيسة ستحضر لهم الحلوى والهدايا عند عودتهم إلى المنزل.
