Dont forget to tell your kids about the tradition, and keep it alive! This is one of our most beautiful winter-traditions i sweden.

[@moflkb]

@@eigokanis8099 It is about midwinter. When the earlier calendar ended, midwinter had moved to te 13th. So the Lucia celebrations were about how things would now become brighter. Lucia is not a big tradition today compared to with only a generation ago. But, so it is about the winter solstice

The Lucia tradition is the wisest wintertime tradition I know of. It’s what everyone needs during the dark and cold time of year.

[@richardstylez1950]

Problem is that you have to sing, but nearly everyone has the flu at that time, so everyone’s voices are messed up or non existant. Love the tradition though, but it’s usually just the worst timing to arrange singing in my experience.

[@ELonaBrahimllari]

I'm learning from Jonna that Swedish traditions are wise in general as they are mostly related to nature and social gatherings.

[@Beaah]

@@ELonaBrahimllariLucia was a real person though, and we learn the history about her together with the celebration/tradition December 13th. The red ribbon around our waists when we have the white gown is meant to symbolize her blood from the execution. And since it collides once with the solstice, it now is a festival of light.

[@Beaah]

@@ELonaBrahimllari this celebration is not related to nature. It's a Christian one.

I wonder whether people in the northern hemisphere think about how some people are experiencing summer during Dec, Jan & Feb. Although, we're getting a concerning amount of summer so far this year. 🔥🌡️🌩️ Do you smile at calendars with a snow scene for December?

@@a.s.3267 I live in Norrland (The northest of sweden three parts) And.. Wait. Are you saying december is a summer month for you?? WAIT WHAT???

[@a.s.3267]

@@Nejdetärbratack Yes. In the southern hemisphere the seasons are around the other way. You didn't know? We have a hot christmas- salads, watermelon, swimming and 'carols by candlelight' in local parks. Where I live it's predicted to be 40°C on Monday. That is a bit higher than we'd expect at this early in the season though. I do believe global warming is a real phenomenon.

[@Following.moonshadow]

I absolutely love this. Your voice and the song really brings out the magic of the lights shining in the darkness. Lucia really reminds me of an old holiday we have in Poland called Zaduszki - we go to the cementary at night and light candles to honor and remember the lost loved ones. Thank you for sharing your work and bringing light and wander to us all 💜

Good day to you, miss. Good day to your husband and wonderful dog. I apologize in advance for my English. I'm from a Russian-speaking country. Your stories, videos, songs helped me remember myself in the war. The war took all the pagan spirit from me and turned me into a kind of pagan. Now I begin to see this world again as an endless, wonderful mystery. And again am becoming on path which I so love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. Dmitriy Raven at your service. I'm writing from my wife's account.. I've never watched KZbin. Just random individual videos. Especially when the war began it was absolutely not up to it. I thank my friend for accidentally seeing videos of you gave me a second chance..)

Because many people have the genetics from the winkings and native people. Im danish and we all are strongly connected to the nature from the time when we were native people and had to live of and follow the seasons of the nature, in order to survive. We have the same tradition with Lucia light celebration the shortest day of the year. Almost....the traditions are a little mixed. Here Im refering to the shortest day of the year, which in Denmark is the 21. December, but we celebrate Lucia day the 11. December.
