Saint Lucia in Sweden

Dec 13 is Saint Lucia day in Sweden, where each town’s voted “Sankta Lucia” wears a crown of candles and, escorted by girls in white with a red sash and “star boys” brings light and song (and saffron buns!) to homes and workplaces. Details – This was filmed in Sweden in 2002. The lady in the middle is on YouTube as emmajohannesson The lady 2nd from the left end is hannadabbour. I DID NOT APPEAR IN NOR FILM THIS – It was sent to me many years ago and I do not, unfortunately, know of its source. Lyrics in Swedish: Sankta Lucia, ljusklara hägring, sprid i vÃ¥r vinternatt glans av din fägring. ||: Drömmar med vingesus under oss sia, tänd dina vita ljus, Sankta Lucia. 
| Kom i din vita skrud, huld med din maning. Skänk oss, du julens brud, julfröjders aning. ||: Drömmar med vingesus, under oss sia, tänd dina vita? ljus, Sankta Lucia. | English (sorry it’s a bit of a poor translation): Saint Lucia, bright clear mirage, spread in our winter splendor of your beauty. | |: Dreams with wings rustling, over us prophesy, light your white candles, Santa Lucia. : | | Get your white robe, gracious with your call. Give us, you Christmas Bride, an idea of Christmas. | |: Dreams with wings rustling over us prophesy, light your white candles, Santa Lucia. : | |

thanks to your government in 2050 there will be no swedish girls and everyone will pretend that nothing has happened because of fears of beeing called racist.
Väldigt vackert
We lived in Sweden (Lund) in 1983 to 1986… it’s very nice to be able to use Youtube to remember some of those trevligt evenings, and the warm welcome the Swedes gave us. Tak tak for allt.
Sweden is a country were the seperation of church and state have really suceeded.

@trollsyster
good words!
even if I don’t pray to God, I know, that many people are and that this makes God strong and helps them. And it makes them happy and so, I don’t say anything bad about the Gods or the God you are or are not praying to. ^.^
I wonder how much that blonde loves her hair by having those candles over her head.
the river on a cold, snowy Christmas night. Play this film @ MovieWatcher (.) US
what if that melted candles drip on her face?? ouch..
GOSTO MUITO
they sing sooooooo Beautiful great song
@amandaindy Det är ju diskriminering. Ingen fel om det varierar lite på hårfärgerna
I believe in big boobs ! it is a kinda of faith/religion. i don’t speak much about it though i sorta try to keep it for my self. I would love to have a couple of chicks with big breasts on my funeral, that is my life goal !
I’m not an atheist no. I believe that there is something we can’t explain that, for lack of a better word, can be called God. I don’t think God is a bearded man sitting on a cloud, I believe more that there is God in all of us and in everything living.
I also like the idea of reincarnation, the whole wheel of life thing. On each turn you learn something new until you reach Nirvana or whatever.
even if ur not Catholic do u still believe in God?
jag alskar!!! merry Xmas from Poland!
We keep our faith private; it doesn’t mean we don’t have any, whether Pagan, Christian or whatever. But for whatever reason you celebrate Lucia, isn’t it a beautiful custom? =)
Beautiful vid btw! =D
I don’t know about that. I’m not religious myself, though I was raised Catholic, but I know and have met a lot of Swedish people of various religions who have a deep faith in God. We just tend not to flaunt it. We don’t think religion should have anything to do with your politics for example; it’s your morals that count (I know, a politician with morals? lol).
God jul och gott nytt år!!!
Nja, Lucia var faktiskt rödhÃ¥rig enligt sägnen… Med blÃ¥ ögon som hon skar ut för att mannen som älskade henne, och hennes ögon, skulle lämna henne ifred.
Thank Vemberain
klart du får
