Devotees observe this ritual to remember the severe famine that struck Siracusa and Palermo in 1646.During that time of Spanish domination, the faithful prayed to their patron saint, Lucia, seeking relief. Finally in May during a mass, a squawking quail flew into the duomo in Ortigia (NB, the name “Ortigia” comes from the Ancient Greek word “ortyx,” which means quail.). At the same moment, a messenger entered the church announcing that ships had arrived carrying wheat grain. All hailed it a miracle, attributing the relief to Santa Lucia having answered their prayers.Now, annually for her feast day in December devotees process her precious silver statue through the streets and only eat cuccìa and arancine as homage to the patron saint of eyes, sight, light, and wheat.Viva Santa Lucia! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/645f2da0-8beb-11f0-8110-718a93934f4e-rimg-w814-h740-dc78492d-gmir.jpg Cancellation PolicyYou must cancel in writing to allisonscola@experiencesicily.com 36-hours (by 2:59AM on Saturday, December 6, 2025) before the start of this event to receive a refund. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/celebrate-la-festa-di-santa-lucia-saint-lucy-in-new-york-city/100001637098779519 - **Event Categories**: concerts, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 113.89, max: 113.89, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Cacio e Pepe - **lat**: 40.7306378 - **long**: -73.98592579999999 - **full address**: Cacio e Pepe, 182 2nd Ave, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Celebrate La Festa di Santa Lucia (Saint Lucy) in New York City - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/7477e750a56357317b3ba81da1336ddfc374db8253e416cfa2eeec70ce567ad5-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd1af73-gmir.jpg?v=1757250368 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Celebrate La Festa di Santa Lucia (Saint Lucy) in New York City being held? - **A:** Celebrate La Festa di Santa Lucia (Saint Lucy) in New York City takes place on Sun, 07 Dec, 2025 at 02:00 pm to Sun, 07 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm at Cacio e Pepe, 182 2nd Ave, New York, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Celebrate La Festa di Santa Lucia (Saint Lucy) in New York City? - **A:** Tickets for Celebrate La Festa di Santa Lucia (Saint Lucy) in New York City are priced at USD 114 per person.
