I thought about waiting till tomorrow to comment and say: "Happy Lucia Day" but I don't think I have the patience for it. Great video though!

[@theculturedjinni]

Due to the time difference, it is Lucia day right now in Sweden. So you are right on time technically! 👍

[@afrodobooks]

@@theculturedjinni I am technically correct! The best kind of correct!

[@theculturedjinni]

@@afrodobooks Indeed!🤣👍

lovely content, my great grandmother immigrated from Sweden to USA thank you so much

[@theculturedjinni]

👍 Cool! It is always fun hearing the family history and connection of people to my country 🇸🇪.

These lussekatter look delicious, they made me hungry Great video by the way, it is interesting to learn about holidays from other cultures, also will you make a video about how Christmas is celebrated in sweden?

[@theculturedjinni]

They are delicious and sadly Lucia is pretty much the only time you eat them. I am planing to actually make a video that is kind of related to Swedish Christmas celebration, though very unconnected to Christianity unlike Lucia. You will see. Then I will also release a video about a practice that is done on nights of holy and important days such as Christmas eve and new years eve, though that one will probably be released after Christmas.

Very intetesting mini documentary on a relatively obscure part of Europe :D

[@theculturedjinni]

I aim at bringing to light these sorts of obscure things! 👍

Very interesting video man; I always like digging into the history behind a number holiday traditions. Also, a bit off topic, but your mentioning of the lussekatter reminded me of a personal quest of mine to find semla while in Stockholm!

[@theculturedjinni]

Oh yes semlor, the other famous Swedish pastry. Did you find any? They are associated with the period just before the lent fast so they can sometimes be a bit hard to get at other times of the year.

[@GhostCountries]

@@theculturedjinni Unfortunately...no; I knew we were a bit early, but my friend still thought we could find them somewhere. Guess there's always next time.

[@theculturedjinni]

Yes, they, just like Lussekatter & Gustaf Adolph cakes (another type of Swedish pastry), can be surprisingly hard to find when you are out of season.

[@GhostCountries]

@@theculturedjinni I will have to give it a try someday though! I've heard too many stories...hahaha

[@theculturedjinni]

My boys go to an old Swedish community public School and we celebrate Santa Lucia . My son has danced for 3 years in a row now 🥹❤️ my maiden name is Bjorklund. To me living in the day we do, I get a tad emotional considering Im not from here. I feel very blessed to be apart of this community ❤️☺️🥹❤️

[@theculturedjinni]

Cool! 👍 nee Björklund (a very Swedish name meaning birch meadow or meadow between Birches) it is always fun hearing about people that still keep the Swedish traditions living even outside of Sweden/Finland.
