Possibly the most favorite tradition of our church has been the annual Santa Lucia ceremony. Each year for the past 50 years, we nominate a youth from our congregation to play the part of Lucia to lead the Star Children into the sanctuary and deliver saffron buns on the Sunday closest to Santa Lucia Day (December 13). To celebrate this anniversary, we present the story of how Santa Lucia came to UUCM in the words of our beloved Elsa Reichle in an interview made for Indiana Public Radio in the late 2000s.
