Culto in Italy 

It is curious to note that this tradition can also be applied for the Gregorian calendar, if you interpret the "lower day" as the day when the sun Sunset Before. Of course insouthern hemisphere Earth is one of the longest days of the year. His liturgical feast recurs 13 December; before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (1582), the party fell near winter solstice (from which the saying "santa Lucia the shortest day there is"), but no longer coincided with the adoption of the new calendar (difference of 10 days). In the Nordic countries, which adopted the Gregorian calendar about two hundred years later, the solstice continued to fall on 13 December (Gregorian calendar).

The celebration of the feast in a day near the winter solstice, is probably due to the desire to replace ancient popular festivals that celebrated light and celebrate in the same period in the northern hemisphere. Other religious traditions celebrate light in periods close to the winter solstice such as the feast of Hanukkah Hebrew, which lasts eight days as the celebrations for the saint to Syracuse, or the party Diwali celebrated in India.

It is considered by the devotees protating machine eyes eyes, blind people, ophthalmists, electricians and chisels and is often invoked in eye diseases.

The body of the saint, taken from ancient times Byzantines in Syracuse, it was later refuted by the Venetians who conquered Constantinople (current Istanbul) and is therefore currently preserved and venerated in church of San Geremia a Venice. The sacred remains of the holy Syracusana returned exceptionally to Syracuse for seven days in December 2004 on the occasion of the 17th centenary of his martyrdom.

The arrival and departure of the remains were greeted by an incredible crowd of Syracusans; found the very high participation and devotion of the devotees, Syracusans and not, since then the possibility of a definitive return through some negotiations between the Archbishop was made of Syracuse Giuseppe Costanzo and the Patriarch of Venice Angelo Scola.
