Advent Days - St Lucia , Gaudatte Sunday

. St Lucy, or Santa Lucia, is a beloved saint in many cultures. Sweden in particular has a beautiful tradition of celebrating “Lucia Morning” with singing, crowns of light, and special foods. 

We had followed some in the past, Annus dressed up with some candles served some rolls. You could see from Archives 

Thee are so many beautiful traditions to follow. She is a patron of eye ailments. Why don't you bake something?

You could make the Lussekatter or cookies. I will admit that, in my home,  cinnamon rolls take the place of Lussekatter. Try and do achievable in a busy home.  But also Lucia means light, and such a good day to travel  and see Christmas lights. Probably put lights on , that was my desire didn't work out. I will try and do today , on third Suday of Advent when we light pink candles - ❤.
