Saint Lucia's Day is dedicated to Saint Lucy and is observed on the 13th of December in Sweden and Norway and other European countries and in the United States in communities with a large number of people of Scandinavian ancestry.
Oldest boy in class with light (traditionally candle) to represent hope.
A traditional kind of bun, Lussekatt ("St. Lucia Bun"), made with saffron, is normally eaten on this day. We made our own delicious Saffron buns.
The oldest girl in the class wore a white Swedish gown with a red sash and candle-wreath in her hair and along with oldest boy in class carrying light distributed sweets.
