“Santa Lucia in Front of Governor Pascasio”, predella part of the “Altarpiece of Santa Lucia” by Lorenzo Lotto (1480/1556), oil on panel, 69×32 cm, 1525 – 1532. Pinacoteca Civica in Jesi (Ancona)

I am captivated by the firmness in St. Lucia’s eyes, that shows her courage in fighting a just cause. I am moved by her gesture: she points her finger to the sky, a symbol of her resilience.

Today, let’s celebrate unanimously all women, in particular the youngest, who take the courage to fight for a just cause.
