SANTA LUCIA PROCESSION

SANTA LUCIA IS INDEED A MAGICAL AND CHERISHED TRADITION THAT BEAUTIFULLY ILLUMINATES THE HEART OF WINTER. CELEBRATED ON DECEMBER 13TH, THIS EVENT HERALDS THE RETURN OF LIGHT DURING THE DARKEST DAYS OF THE YEAR, A SYMBOL OF HOPE AND WARMTH. THE TRADITION, DEEPLY ROOTED IN SWEDISH CULTURE, INVOLVES PROCESSIONS LED BY A YOUNG GIRL DRESSED AS LUCIA, WEARING A CROWN OF CANDLES AND A WHITE GOWN WITH A RED SASH, ACCOMPANIED BY ATTENDANTS SINGING TRADITIONAL SONGS. IT'S HEARTWARMING TO SEE HOW THIS CELEBRATION HAS TRANSCENDED ITS ORIGINS, BECOMING AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR FAMILY TRADITION AND THE STORES ANNUAL EVENTS. BY SHARING THIS LUMINOUS FESTIVAL WITH OTHERS, YOU BRING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND JOY, SPREADING THE TIMELESS MESSAGE OF LIGHT CONQUERING DARKNESS. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THIS BEAUTIFUL TRADITION ALIVE AND SHARING ITS ENCHANTING SPIRIT WITH US ALL. PROCESSION STARTS AT 10AM
