History of Saint Lucy's Day:
Saint Lucy was a Christian martyr who lived during the Roman Empire. The tradition of celebrating her feast day on December 13th dates back to the Middle Ages. According to legend, Saint Lucy would bring food and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs, wearing a crown of candles to light her way.
Lucia Celebration in Sweden:
In Sweden, Saint Lucy's Day is a captivating blend of Christian tradition and pagan rituals. On this day, a young girl is chosen to portray Lucia, adorned with a crown of candles on her head. The Lucia procession, often accompanied by carol singing, is a hallmark of this festive occasion.
The Symbolism:
The candles symbolize the return of light during the darkest time of the year. Lucia, often dressed in a white gown, represents purity and brings a message of hope and light.
Recent Celebrations:
In recent years, Lucia Day has evolved into a widely observed tradition, not only in churches but also in schools, workplaces, and communities. The Lucia procession is a spectacular sight, with participants dressed in white, holding candles, and singing traditional songs.
