We celebrate Lucia in sweden today, and you can have this in your hair or glitter.
Lucia - In traditional celebrations, Saint Lucy comes as a young woman with lights and sweets. It is one of the few saint days observed in Scandinavia. In some forms, a procession is headed by one girl wearing a crown of candles (or lights), while others in the procession hold only a single candle each.
So now I am off for church and to see and listen to my two dotters that will "do Lucia".
