27. St. Lucia’s Day (Scandinavia) #Viral #Shorts #AI #StLucia’sDay #Scandinavia

St. Lucia’s Day (Scandinavia) Though celebrated by Christians worldwide, St. Lucia’s Day holds special significance in Nordic countries. On December 13, girls dressed in white gowns and holding candles form a procession through the streets, singing songs in honour of the early Christian martyr, St. Lucia. The lead girl, representing St. Lucia wears a crown of candles, symbolizing how Lucia navigated the catacombs, hands free to carry food for persecuted Christians. Boys also join the procession. In Sweden, it is traditional to enjoy a Lussekatt, or saffron bun, as part of the celebration. #StLuciasDay #ScandinavianTraditions #NordicFestivals #LuciaProcession #SwedishHolidays #NordicCulture #CandleCrown #LuciaCelebration #Lussekatt #DecemberTraditions
