Lucia ๐Ÿ•ฏ

(Saint Lucy's Day)

Would you like to join a Lucia Train? ๐ŸŒŸ

A Brief Background

The Feast of Sankta Lucia is widely celebrated all over Scandinavia. It's originally a Christian feast day on December 13th which previously was the day of the winter solstice. Hence, it marked a path towards brighter times. ๐ŸŒป

Nowadays it's celebrated at many schools and daycares with less emphasis on its religious roots. It's celebrated with saffron buns and gingerbreads. The main event is the Lucia Train, where people dress up to walk together and sing.

Everyone who wants can participate which leaves the question...

Would you like to join the Lucia Train? ๐Ÿ•ฏโœจ

You can choose between a few different roles/costumes and give me a brief description of how you would like to be drawn.

For example: "as a bunny with long hair". You can also put down color preferences! Just reply to this forum post and I'll try to make a doodle of it.

Our friend @kindSoul10 wanted to be a Lucia Bunny ๐Ÿฐ Look look at the most left character! โœจ

The Roles/Costumes

  • Lucia - Crown of candles, red belt, white gown
  • Tรคrna (Maid) - Silver glittery crown and belt, candle in hand, white gown
  • Stjรคrngosse (Star Boy) - Top hat, star in hand, white gown
  • Tomte (Santa/Elf), Santa outfit and lantern
  • Pepparkaksgubbe (Gingerbread Man) - Made out of gingerbread with a candy cane in hand

On December 13th we'll go around Cups and carol! ๐Ÿ˜›๐ŸŒŸ

If you would like to watch a Lucia celebration and listen to some music click here to go to a video clip since I can't add it to the post ๐Ÿฅบ

@gentleemperor, that's such a cute idea! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'd like to join as Stjรคrngosse. If I get to choose colors, it'd like a gradient from dark blue at the top to orange at the bottom. Just look at my profile picture. ๐Ÿ˜›

Thankyou for this amazing post, Gentle. How do you come up with all this creative stuff hehe. So impressive. โค

I'm very confused on what I wanna be lol xD a "walking sun" would probably be a little scary Haha.

Sooooo I guess I could be a gingerbread wearing a yellow apron and a Santa hat. Or feel free to work your magic. I'm sure you'll ace it! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโค

Hi Pengy Peng! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ Oh my gosh! This sounds like so much fun and thank you for including me, my wonderful friend! โค๏ธ Also, I'm loving seeing your creative mind at work with all of these wonderful drawings that you are generating! These, for me, are things of beauty to see! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I see these as special gifts that you are creating for your teammates, a labor of love, time invested to show how much you care! Our founder, @GlenM , has referred to us as a "gift giving society" and I think he would love nothing more than to see how you are embracing that concept, sharing of yourself, your time, treasures and talents and really being "the example" of that and in your own special way! โค๏ธ

I also really appreciate you sharing more about you and your culture. I love this tradition and thank you for teaching us about it! ๐Ÿ˜Š

This is soooooo cute how these can be "extensions" of ourselves here on 7 cups! I'm wondering if I can select "Star Boy" even though I'm female? It would seem like the easiest one to pick based on how I would kind of envision myself if I were to be able to request things about me to be added to that likeness. Not sure if it's an option, but I would love to have "Giz" across my chest and somehow a similarity of my pfp on the end the wand that he is holding (the bright burst with red and yellow) and the star on his hat to be really bright yellow with little beams coming from it?

*high fives* ๐Ÿ˜Š and big *hugs* โค๏ธ Thank you again Pengy Peng!
