Lucia day.

The whole Sweden celebrate Lucia day today.It's the honor of "Santa Lucia",the celebration started when Scandinavian countries were catholic. But the tradition continues even they change religion to protestant.


A touching moment,while listening the "Santa Lucia"song. TV station was sending live the coronation of the Santa Lucia candidate. December 13 is not an official holiday in Sweden,but it's one of the popular occasion here. Schools,hospitals,nursing home and other private sectors honored this day.

During this day people used to eat "lussekatter in Swedish"English (Saint Lucy Bun).Picture above was taken from some recipe site.
