Lucia

This is the first time ever i've seen 2 lucias at the same time

Today is the 13-th of December, lucia and the 3rd of advent. Lucia has been an old tradition in Sweden for ages. I think it's based on a true story about an Italian girl, Lucia, who everyone thought was a witch and decided to burn on a big bonfire. I've acctually seen the real Lucia's hands and feet on a museum in Venice, Italy. Anyway we're "celebrating" this by having a Lucia chorus which sings and bring "light in th dark" which we most certainly need right now.
This was the weirdest Lucia celebration ever though. We went to church to watch it and not only did they have to Lucias they also had a guy making backflips and breakdancing...
Every sunday in December we lit a candle so the first sunday there's only one, the next two and so on. It's the third today and we've (I've) lit the third and last one in Norrköping. Tomorrow is the final exam and on Wednesday we're driving home to Strömstad.
