@Trinacria1973 Simple, when christianity came to sweden we had a night of light on the darkest night of the year to ward of goblins and witches. They simply did a bait and switch saying thay had a simular 'holiday' on that day.

@Trinacria1973 we were catholics here in Sweden before the luther reformation back in the early 16th century. This is one of the few traditions that we still have that has survived, it is also influenced by older pagan traditions aswell. such as celebrating the light at the darkest period of the year etc. Sort of a mix btw catholic and old pre-cristian traditions. Hope that helped abit :)

For someone to play the part of Santa Lucia and bring coffee and spiced cookies to people. If in homes, she brings them to the family membersin their beds.. It is for everyone. Once I made a wreath of candles for my head and did this. It was a wonderful feeling to walk in a circle of light radiating from my head. I recommend it but be careful on the flames.

Comes then into the night, Glowing with candlelight, Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia.... Where darkness was so still, Soft sounds are crying, And as a joyous song, Rooms fill rejoicing, For on the threshold stands, robed in her gracious love, Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia.... Darkness will soon be gone, from earth's deep hollows, as she in joyous song, bids us to follow. With her we'll sing our song, as the new dawn appears, Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia. It is a Swedish custom, in homes and schools, etc.
