Lucia

The 13th of December, we celebrate Saint Lucia. I am assuming it is a Catholic tradition, but really, I do not know. It is confusing since there are Pagen and protestant traditions, but anything with a Saint, is usually Catholic. The weird part is that the Swedish Church is protestant. Anyone know?

Anyways, we have Luciatåg, meaning Lucia train. There are four figures, the Gingerbread man, Saint Lucia, Santa Claus, and a dude with a big duntz cap with a star on it, called Star Guy. haha.

Lucia bears candles, and everyone follows and they all sing Swedish Christmas songs.

It's really cute with all the kids, but the more I think of the thing, the weirder is seems.

Here are the kids, Elliot is the Gingerbread man, and Perry is Santa.

Morgan was with me watching the whole show. =)
