Lucia i Katrineholms bibliotek.
Lucia is a Swedish tradition. As far as I know we are the only ones celebrating it. The tradition builds on a story of a young Italian girl. Centris ago, when there were troubled times she put candles on her head in order to carry as much food as possible to prisoners underground. She was discovered and they punished her by destroying her eyes, making her blind.
This performance was held in Katrineholms Library.
My World Tuesday
Here is one of the songs that we use to sing. On Youtub

Det är verkligen en trevlig tradition vi har. Sprider mycket glädje runt om i landet för alla åldrar.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! I bet it sounded wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteSer ju vackert ut. Jättestora ljus Lucia har i kronan. Bibblan är ett bra ställe i Katrineholm.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful tradition. I think St. Lucia's Day is celebrated throughout Scandinavia as well as in the Baltic and Balkan countries. And some people of Scandinavian ancestry celebrate it here in Canada too. :)
ReplyDeleteUnderbart vackert och stämningsfullt! Nu känns det att julen nalkas på riktigt!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I've been reading quite a bit about Lucia this year thanks to so many bloggers from Scandinavia! Wonderful tradition and I would have loved to have heard the music! Hope you have a wonderful week!

I love the festival of light and thank you for the video clip as well.
ReplyDeleteIt is such an interesting tradition that is practiced by Swedish-Americans here in the U.S. as well. I could never figure out how an Italian girl's legend became something of Sweden. In any event, it's a lovely tradition. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEverything here looks so very pretty. I am sure the voices are even better.
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching story about the Italian girl. What a beautiful and meaningful tradition this is.
ReplyDeletea great tribute to Lucia. lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post today. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a poignant story! It is a wonderful tradition.
ReplyDeleteTraditionen verkar ha spridit sig till Finland och även Danmark, Norge Island, vissa delar av USA, Kanada och andra länder där det finns svenskar. Kul tycker jag för det är en fin tradition och lyser upp i vintermörkret.
ReplyDeleteKram på dig! ♥
ja det verkar så. Fast i USA får de väl spader om de ska ha Lucia också. De har ju Thanksgiving också. :)
ReplyDeleteJätte mysiga lucia bilder .. och jag är så himla arg på mig själv jag missade det här i stan .. jag läste i tidningen på kvällen om det och det var så himla fint .. jag ville ha varit där med kameran . men så är det när man är glömsk
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you told us of the tradition. The video is really well done by you and the choir. Boom & Gary of The Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteLucia verkar mer spridd än man kan tro. Disney får väl göra en tecknad film om hennes dramatiska histora, så får det nog återverkningar vad gäller populariteten. Sedan finns ju Monarkin-Öriket Saint Lucia i Karibien med sina drygt 100 000 invånare, om det finns något samband är mer än jag vet. Kanske de ´firar´ Lucia på något sätt?
ReplyDeleteIngen aning om ifall det finns någon koppling.
ReplyDeleteDet är iaf. rätt märkligt att vi firar ett katolskt Helgon. Kanske ville kyrkan stävja den blodiga grisslakten med mat-och dryckesorgier samma natt?? Den på tidig sommar födde Jesus fick ju skuffa undan Vinterblotet. Bara en sådan sak. Som vanligt har religion inte något att göra med tro, utan makt över populasen! Jaja!
