Sunday 13th was Lucia -dagen in Norden. That's a tradition here in (Finland, Sweden...) and that comes from the history, Saint Lucy (Sankta Lucia). She (who will be choose by jury) comes to give some "light" to dark winter. Lucia goes also to sing for seniors and bring some light before Xmas.
Here in Finland, this year Lucia was called by Sonja Lehto. If you will be Lucia, you have to speak Swedish and you have to sing alone and with your friends.
In our schools in Finland, we have a Lucia "party" when we are singing that "sankta lucia" and hear a story what Saint Lucy do.
If you will see some videos, what actually they do, you can watch from youtube, like that one, what I just love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTxBRnQ-dW0
I hope that you'll have a nice week, I'm out with a new post on Friday :)
