Lucia... THE FEST of LIGHT...
#AbFav_DECEMBER
#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
On the 13th of December, in Sweden, the festivities of Lucia Day begin early in the morning, with costumed children bringing their parents breakfast in bed. But the holiday continues, with Lucia processions in schools, hospitals, offices, factories, even on flights.
There are also Lucia competitions, with young women vying to represent their community.
Perhaps the most spectacular of these takes place in Stockholm where the city's Lucia is crowned by the writer who three days earlier was awarded that year's Nobel Prize in Literature.
Symbolising the light of faith and the promise of the sun's return,
Santa Lucia has become a Swedish icon of winter, nearly as popular as Jultomte, the Swedish Santa Claus.
Candles filling our rooms with light every December.
May the light shine bright for you today and thank you for visiting, Magda (*_*)
