Like a peacock or certain butterflies

In Santa Lucia, the Philippines, there is a statue of Saint Lucia which grants clear vision to those afflicted by blindness. The petitioner approaches and rubs their eyes against her robe, a fantastic raiment composed of thousands of small silver milagros in the shape of eyes. If the petition is successful, the formerly ailing believer will add another eye milagro to her robe. Like a peacock or certain butterflies, St. Lucy glistens in her shrine; the eyes, like stars, leading not into darkness but through it to the light. Imagine her lit by candles as you descend into sleep and let her clear the vision of your dreams.
