EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Lucia's Day, December 13th, is a beloved Scandinavian tradition that marks the beginning of the Christmas season in Sweden and other Nordic countries. This historical photograph, taken in 1927, captures the essence of the celebration as a young girl, dressed in a traditional white gown and red sash, carries coffee and cakes to those preparing Christmas gifts and decorations. Saint Lucia, the patron saint of light, is celebrated in Sweden and other countries with this beautiful custom. The girl chosen to represent Saint Lucia, often called "Lucia Bride," wears a crown of candles on her head and leads a procession through the streets, singing songs and spreading light and warmth to her community. The tradition of St. Lucia's Day dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was believed that the shortest days of the year brought darkness and despair. The arrival of St. Lucia, with her candles and light, was seen as a symbol of hope and renewal. In this image, the girl carries coffee and cakes to those who are busy preparing for the Christmas season. Coffee was a luxury item in Sweden in the 1920s, and the warm beverage was a welcome treat for those working long hours to complete their Christmas preparations. The cakes, often made with saffron and raisins, were a sweet reward for their hard work. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the regional customs and traditions that make the Christmas season so special in Sweden and other Nordic countries. The image captures the spirit of community, hope, and renewal that is at the heart of St. Lucia's Day.
