Swedish Lucia Celebration
Residents of Swedish descent, or those interested in Swedish customs, are invited to join the 34th annual Lucia celebration on Friday, Dec. 11. Sponsored by the Northfield Swedish Club, the event begins at 6 p.m. and includes a potluck supper, a Lucia processional and pageant, live fiddle music, the singing of Swedish carols, and folk dancing.
After the meal, the Lucias, each dressed in white with a red sash at her waist and wearing a crown of candles on her head, will lead a procession of attendants and star boys, singing the traditional St. Lucia song. Afterward, they will serve cookies and coffee to everyone. The event concludes with songs and dancing around the Christmas tree.
Everyone – young and old, singles, and families – is invited to attend. Bring your own tableware, two dishes to pass, and one dozen cookies.
