Hello, could you explain to an American why you wear the hat and the candles for this? I am intrigued.
Ah! I 've just read GreenJello's post about Saint Lucia and her meaning in Scandinavia! Now I understand! I love Noak in his pointed hat and you in your crown of candles!!
Oh these amazing photos!!!!
It's a pity that you don't wear real candles but I can quite understand this ;)
You two look wonderful!
Mansuetude, WELCOME here again! It is an old tradition we have. Lucia was an Italian saint from 300 a.C. sometime... I do not know what everything is supposed to symbolize. But we celecrate this "queen of light" in the very darkest time of the year. Look at the link I have at the end of the post what it looks like when Lucia comes with her maids! Special songs are connected with Lucia. I´ve sung them over and over to my little boy today.
Di, GOOD you´ve done your homework ;)
Uschi,
I bought these candles last night for c:a 2 Euro, when Noak and I went to the center of our subvurb to pick up the local news-paper...
♥♥
One year I will celebrate St Lucia.
