Saint Lucia Day is the Swedish holiday celebrated December 13. Saint Lucia, the patron saint of light, was said to be a beautiful maiden who wore a crown of candles to light her way when she carried food to persecuted Christians in Rome who were hiding in caves. In Sweden Saint Lucia Day is celebrated by having the oldest daughter be the first to rise and wear a crown of candles as she brings buns to all who are sleeping in the household.
