I've always been fascinated by the beauty of the tradition. Here is a beautiful painting by Carl Larsson, 1908. (I'm sure you have seen it.) But, I like this image of the candlelight and the girl's selflessness in helping others in need. Perfect for the Christmas spirit. http://www.freebase.com/view/wikipedia/images/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194085198721171579.post-75725764579439307582011-12-14T22:42:00.715+01:002011-12-14T22:42:00.715+01:00While I'm half Swedish and have heard of St. L...While I'm half Swedish and have heard of St. Lucia, I never really knew much about this tradition. When my mother was young they celebrated this holiday in our church and chose a St. Lucia each year. I wish they would bring this tradition back. It sounds lovely!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194085198721171579.post-41032192525915443072011-12-14T21:44:49.608+01:002011-12-14T21:44:49.608+01:00Thank you for sharing Malin...I don't think I ...Thank you for sharing Malin...I don't think I would've made the corelation without seeing the video but when I was small, we each had a very special ornament that my mother had purchased from someone who made very detailed ornaments from salt dough. I think now that my sister's ornament was St. Lucia. I always assumed it was an angel but she had no wings and was holding a candle.

I have heard of St Lucia day but never really knew much about it. Your daugther and her friends are adorable. What a great Christmas memory! Enjoy the day, Miss Malin!<br />xo<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194085198721171579.post-52676285605263408522011-12-14T20:13:02.116+01:002011-12-14T20:13:02.116+01:00Fantastic Sally!
