Lucia Day 13 December

In Sweden, Lucia Day has been
celebrated for centuries, but not always in the same way.
It used to be a very special occasion - it was thought to
be the longest and darkest night of the year, when
hobgoblins and witches were afield and the animals talked
the language of humans.

The first'Lucia bride' had no crown of light and no white-clad
attendants. They appeared later. The modern Lucia
procession first saw the light of dawn in the 19th
century, by which time she had a lighted crown and a
train of 'bridesmaids' and 'star-boys'.
Lucia arrives early in the morning, when it's still dark.
She serves coffee, saffron rolls and gingerbread to those
she visits.
