St. Lucia's Day is celebrated on December 13th, primarily in Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia. This festival honors Saint Lucia, a Christian martyr known for her kindness and dedication to helping the poor. The day marks the beginning of the Christmas season and is associated with light during the dark winter months. Traditionally, a girl is chosen to represent St. Lucia and wears a white gown with a red sash and a crown of candles. She leads a procession of girls and boys, singing carols and bringing treats like saffron buns. The celebration emphasizes themes of hope, light, and community.
