  • Title: Santa Lucia
  • Artist: JuJuBe1115
  • Description: The Festival of Saint Lucy (Santa Lucia) is celebrated on the 13th of December in Scandinavian countries, like Sweden, as well as areas in the US with strong Scandinavian backgrounds.

    The girl chosen to play Lucia will wake early and bring baked goods (such as saffron buns) and coffee to everyone. She wears a white gown, red sash, and a crown of candles upon her head. In some processions, she is followed by girls (and sometimes boys) in similar gowns who hold candles.

  • Reminds me of one of those American Girl books I'd see while keeping the shelves in order at the library where I work. Looks cool!
