Also, the Lucia Pageant is held during this time. The Swedish Lucia celebration is an annual festival in Swedish culture that is held on the 13th of December. On this day, according to their traditions, Saint Lucia brightens the darkness in the world and ushers in a new period of light and goodness and thus the Christmas celebration begins. In Swedish culture, Saint Lucia, or someone playing the part of Lucia, wears a wreath of lingonberry sprigs and candles atop her head to give the effect of a halo. Modern day Lucia’s opt for battery operated versions.
