The feast of St. Lucia is celebrated with a procession of girls in white robes carrying candles, with the "Lucia bride" wearing a crown of candles on her head.

The girls sing the Lucia song and distribute lussekatter (saffron buns) to the audience. The day is a celebration of light in the darkest time of the year, and the candles are a reminder that the days will soon begin to grow longer.
