St. Lucy's feast day is such a fun celebration. I encourage you to read about it to understand the symbolism. According to the Swedish tradition, the eldest daughter awakens early to make breakfast for her family, usually a sweet roll or bread. Sarah just loved to do this....she awoke extra early and had to wait a bit! She wore the traditional white gown, with red sash (a scarf), but we opted against a crown of candles atop her head...if you know Sarah, you will understand why. It was a fun way to start a feast day where we then talked about the life of St. Lucy at breakfast.
