A more dramatic and intense Lucia. It shows a young girl with dark hair wearing the traditional Lucia crown of green leaves and lit white candles. Her large, pale blue-green eyes are particularly striking and seem to gaze directly at the viewer with a serious, almost haunting expression. The background is dark and atmospheric, with deep shadows and small points of warm light scattered throughout, creating a mysterious forest-like setting. The candlelight from her crown casts dramatic shadows on her face, giving the image a more mature and contemplative mood. She's wearing a simple, light-colored dress or gown. The overall tone is more somber and mystical, emphasizing the spiritual and symbolic aspects of the St. Lucia tradition. The text reads: "LUCIA SEES THROUGH SHADOW. LUCIA WALKS WITHOUT FEAR." This card portrays St. Lucia as a more powerful, almost guardian-like figure who brings light to dispel darkness and fear.
