THE STORY BEHIND IT
St. Lucy of Syracuse, a young Christian martyr traditionally said to have died in 304, is remembered on her feast day, December 13, and her name comes from the Latin word for light. In Sweden and across Scandinavia, Lucia Day begins at dawn with a girl in a white gown and red sash, wearing a crown of candles, who brings saffron buns called lussekatter to her family.
