Here are some pictures from the Lucia day celebrations at Duncan's school last night. It was a beautiful ceremony and the children did an amazing job with all the songs. The older girls hold real candles and there are real candles on the head of the girl chosen to wear the special head piece. The boys dress as you can see in this picture of Duncan. He wasn't that impressed with "wearing a dress", but that is how it is done. Mitch's school in town went to the big church across the street to see the ceremony done there.
I only recognized one song and the rest were new to me. There was a dance after this, but we couldn't stay as Mitch was playing hockey in Sunne and needed to be picked up. We did stay long enough to have a cup of coffee and sample the traditional Saffron buns mad for this occasion. I bought some "saffron" in Tunisia to try and make my own, but unfortunately what I bought was not the real thing, so it was nice to try the real thing.
