Swedish traditions: Lucia procession 2019

The Lucia procession at SSHL is one of the most anticipated events of the year. Families from all over the world travel to SSHL to see their children perform. Swedish Lucia Lucia is a Swedish holiday celebrated on December 13 and gets its name from the holiday's main character. In Sweden, this day along with advent marks the start of Christmas celebrations. The Swedish Lucia traditions are a mix of pre-Christian and Christian traditions which have spread throughout the Nordic countries and in some instances outside the Nordics. Lucia is a saint with origins from Sicily in the roman catholic church. However, contemporary Lucia celebrations in the Nordic countries have little in common with Catholic saint worship. The word lucia is derived from the latin "lux" meaning light.
