Gaudete Sunday


It is also the feast of St. Lucy... Legend has it that her eyes were gouged out with forks during her martyrdom.

Notice the rose colours used in the painting.  Rose is also the colour of the vestments worn on Gaudete Sunday - as a sign of rejoicing in the midst of a penitential season.
