St. Lucia Day
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Lucia Day is a holiday that is held on December 13, in several countries in Europe. Those countries are Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Bosnia, and Croatia. It is held in honor of Saint Lucy. On this day, young girls (mostly the oldest daughter of the house) dress like Saint Lucia in a white robe and a crown of candles. There are parades, pagents, and the girl playing Lucia serves cakes.
