Ep. 86: St. Lucia: The Woman Who Lit Christmas
from We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & Feminism · host Alyssa & Bri
We started this episode laughing about cars made of popsicle sticks and our collective inability to drive in snow… and somehow ended up deep in the catacombs with St. Lucy. Her story isn’t the sanitized candle-crown version we learned as kids—this woman defied an empire, ditched a fiancé who felt entitled to her life, and literally brought light into the darkest places. She fed the hungry, protected her people, and paid the ultimate price for choosing compassion over control. This week, we're reclaiming the woman who shaped Christmas while history tried to snuff her out.
