Don´t they look sweet?
Swedish traditions reach as far as their followers, and Lucia is no exception. It´s normally celebrated on the morning of the 13th, but the Swedish community in Santiago had chosen to hold it today since it´s a national holiday. It took place in the German church "El Buen Pastor". I went as a mere spectator but was called in for duty and soon found myself in the traditional outfit: white cape, cone-hat and star-on-a-stick in hand. We sang the usual tunes, accompanied on the piano by a very skilled guy. I really enjoyed the songs, the candles and everything. Christmas is a-coming!

That looks so cool. I just showed the lucia-pic to a friend without saying it was taken in Chile. Its hard to believe you walked out to the Santiago summer afterwards!
Where are your stjärngosse-pics?
