My esteemed colleague, Timo Forsberg, will shed his bureaucratic identity tomorrow morning to become St. Lucia - a Christian martyr who wore a crown of candles and gave food to persecuted Christians.

Portland's St. Lucia however bears a much less grim message: "Enjoy coffee and donuts, my fellow bicyclists!"   

If you'd like to meet our very own patron saint, head to the intersection of the Eastbank Esplanade and the Steel Bridge (lower deck) between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m. this Friday morning

There you'll find Timo "St. Lucia" Forsberg, free coffee and donuts, and plenty of cyclists and pedestrians enjoying a little light in the darkness of winter.

He's like this around the office, too...
