This clip (number two in a suite of six) represents the Swedish Lucia celebration, a vestige of Catholic Sweden that survived the Reformation and that stands at the heart of Swedish Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you. That is charming, especially Lucia with the wreath of candles on her head.

This clip (number of of six) shows the actual Saint Lucy Procession, including the singing of “Santa Lucia.” The performance took place in the Cathedral (Domkyrka) in Växjö.
