St Lucy was a virgin and martyr ,who often portrayed with eyes carried in a tray. She was tortured as being a Christian, torn out her eyes. However the biggest mirace was she was able to see .
She used to visit imprisoned, brought blankets and food to them. Both arms were kept free to carry as many supplies as possible. So she wore a wreath around head with candles, like head lights of now a days to walk through dark underground prisons. That is the tradition to carry candle on feast.
So many beautiful traditions esp. Swedish...are there. Eldest girls bake or give breakfast of saffron buns( called lussekatter) and boys dressed up as star boys.... Like St Lucy may we be light to many others.
