| Watching my weight, I skipped the fried food this year and enjoyed some oysters with hot sauce and horseradish |
 |
| Inside the church, I offered thanks to Santa Lucia and San Vito for graces received through their intercession |
 |
| Making the rounds, I made my customary intercessory prayers to the saints (including San Michele and San Sabino) for the happy repose of the souls of my ancestors |
 |
| I was blessed to have the opportunity to venerate the relic of San Sabino |
