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 tradition was imported from Sweden in the 1940s, but it has become one of the most beloved Norwegian Christmas traditions. 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.
