163. Lucia

I found this in one of my plants today, have forgotten to packed down after Christams, so I thought I will show it to you before it end up in the container for next Christams.



Saint Lucy's Day or the Feast of St. Lucy (Santa Lucia, Saint Lucia or sometimes Lucia for short) is the Church feast day dedicated to St. Lucy and is observed on December 13. Its modern day celebration is generally associated with Sweden,

In the United States it is celebrated in states with a large number of people of Scandinavian ancestry, often centered around church events.
DO YOU CELEBRATE IT?

In traditional celebrations, Saint Lucy comes as a young woman with lights and sweets. It is one of the few saint days observed in Scandinavia. In some forms, a procession is headed by one girl wearing a crown of candles (or lights), while others in the procession hold only a single candle each.
