Happy Lucia! Today we celebrate one of the most beloved Swedish traditions – perhaps also one of the most odd-looking. 😍 On 13 December, the traditional Lucia songs can be heard in countless corners of the country – in churches, schools and workplaces. At the heart of it is Lucia, the bearer of light in the Swedish winter darkness. She leads a singing procession of candle-carrying handmaidens and ‘star boys’, all dressed in white gowns. 🕯️ The Lucia celebration also includes gingerbread biscui

Happy Lucia! 😇 No, this is not some crazy cult thing, we promise. It's the Swedish Lucia tradition! With candlelight and beautiful traditional songs we try to bring joy and dispel the midwinter darkness. 🕯️ Find yourself a cosy corner where you can snuggle up and enjoy these 16 minutes of bliss. 🌟 The singers are students from Adolf Fredrik's music school in Farsta, Stockholm. Enjoy! ❤️ Produced by: Mediabolaget Location: Eric Ericsonhallen, Skeppskyrkan #Lucia #luciatradition #sweden #swedis
