SWEDISH CROWN OF CANDLES
In Sweden, the Christmas season traditionally begins on
December 13, when a young girl in each house assumes the
role of St. Lucia, wearing a white robe and a crown of
lighted candles. The custom goes back to Viking times
when, under the old calendar, the night of December 12-13
was the longest of the year. The Lucia girl symbolizes re-turning light. "
