 Lucikuter

Lucia is a Swedish holiday on December 13th. There is a girl dressed up as Lucia. As you see in the picture she wears a wreath of candles on her had and a white gown with a red ribbon on around her waist. She is followed by maidens who also where white gowns but only carry one candle. She is also followed by star boys who wear white gowns and pointed hats with a golden star on the top. After the star boys  there are little children following behind as little elves singing christmas carols. The maidens hand out lucikuter to all the people on the street. This tradition symbolizes bringing light to the  swedish winter since it gets pretty dark pretty fast. It's really cool. I can't wait to witness it. And on Tuesday I get to be a maiden in the Lucia tråg (the Lucia train)!
