There are many legends as to who St Lucia was, but basically she was a good Christian from Italy that devoted her life to God and saved many people from hunger. It is believed that she fed the hungry, persecuted Christians in hiding, the candles on her crown lighting the darkness. The Scandinavians may have heard about St. Lucia from Catholic missionaries, but the legend there says during a famine a woman with candles on her head, dressed in white, brought food to the starving. St. Lucia is a symbol of hope and light during the darkest day of the year in Sweden. St. Lucia starts out the Christmas festivities in Sweden in preparation for Dec 25th.
The kids colored pages of St. Lucia, and we read a book about St. Lucia Day in Sweden. The kids helped me make saffron buns (wow- the spice costs $10 a bottle!) and we made chocolate chunk cookies too. I sewed Ava's St. Lucia dress quickly the day before. She was so cute, walking into the room surprising Jason, Ethan, and Billy. We had the St. Lucia song playing, we're still learning the songs. She didn't want to take off her crown the rest of the night.

I love this idea. What a great way to teach your children their heritage.
We also have st.Lucia in Slovakia...actually it is my name:-) but in Slovakia she was something like a witch but there are also some traditions that people wear white big cloth, make up their face to white and they are going with the feathers pretty much this :http://img.diva.sk/stories/Vianoce/lucie_4.jpg
Sound fun! Ava looks very happy too! I bet she loved dressing up.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
The transition from tropical to tundra has got to be hard. I loved Michigan though and bet you'll love it too. Make sure you have AC wherever you are living for the summer. Though, you might be climatized for heat and humidity having lived where you did. I just about died the first week of our move to MI from heat. I was kind of a mental case at the time with a new baby and moving. Hope you're having a great time!
I love that idea
