| Dec 13 is Saint Lucia day in Sweden, where each town's voted "Sankta Lucia" wears a crown of candles and, escorted by girls in white with a red sash and "star boys" brings light and song (and saffron buns!) to homes and workplaces. Details - This was filmed in Sweden in 2002. The lady in the middle is on YouTube as emmajohannesson The lady 2nd from the left end is hannadabbour. I DID NOT APPEAR IN NOR FILM THIS - It was sent to me many years ago and I do not, unfortunately, know of its source. Lyrics in Swedish: Sankta Lucia, ljusklara hägring, sprid i vår vinternatt glans av din fägring. ||: Drömmar med vingesus under oss sia, tänd dina vita ljus, Sankta Lucia. :|| Kom i din vita skrud, huld med din maning. Skänk oss, du julens brud, julfröjders aning. ||: Drömmar med vingesus, under oss sia, tänd dina vita ljus, Sankta Lucia. :|| English (sorry it's a bit of a poor translation): Saint Lucia, bright clear mirage, spread in our winter splendor of your beauty. | |: Dreams with wings rustling, over us prophesy, light your white candles, Santa Lucia. : | | Get your white robe, gracious with your call. Give us, you Christmas Bride, an idea of Christmas. | |: Dreams with wings rustling over us prophesy, light your white candles, Santa Lucia. : | | |
