Today, 13 dec, is St Lucia day. Sweden have some peculiar traditions, and apparently the relatively modern one has become rather famous across the World. Even many Swedes are not aware of the long peculiar history of "Lucia" in Scandinavia. Here is a good historic overview. https://www.scandinavianarchaeology.com/the-tradition-of-lucia-and-the-bringer-of-light/
@inscius I love that story. A few people in my family were named after her.
@Java It is a beautiful name from a saint. But in Sweden "Lucia" is so associated with an event, there are very few with that name, I think. Would be a bit like naming a kid "Midsummer".
@inscius Lol. Italians celebrate her, too.
@Java We sing the Italian song. It is a wondrous mix of cultures 
@inscius I agree.
