Lucia
Saint Lucia is celebrated in Sweden on the 13th of December, at home, in schools and in public places. Girls dress in white with a crown of candles on the head. They sing about sankta Lucia and other Christmas carols.
Normally there is just one Lucia, but we celebrate together with Odense in Denmark so here one girl is from Odense and the other one from Norrköping in Sweden. The other girls are called maids. Ometimes there are boys as well and they are called starboys as they normally have a coneshaped hat with stars on it.
ANother one taken with my mobile phone so not the best of shots.
