Lucia
Lucia 🕯
(Saint Lucy's Day)
Would you like to join a Lucia Train? 🌟
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. 🌻
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? 🕯✨
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 🐰 Look look at the most left character! ✨
The Roles/Costumes
- Lucia - Crown of candles, red belt, white gown
- Tärna (Maid) - Silver glittery crown and belt, candle in hand, white gown
- Stjärngosse (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! 😛🌟

@gentleemperor This is a very wonderful and interesting to learn, and a beautiful idea to bring to Cups 💙 Can you doodle me as a mermaid version of Tärna ? :3
With tons of blue and purple if possible :3 Pink is my favorite color but blue and purple are so serene to me

@gentleemperor
Red and black santa clause!
@ShaunX I'm not sure what you're imagining here xD but sure 😉 black instead of white? Red skin and black clothes? The other way around? So many questions 😵💫
@gentleemperor
What time on 13th will the parade starts and where should we gather for caroling? 😀
@VictoriaLove7 that's not something I have thought of 😮 I'm probably off from work at 5 or 6 pm CET. We could either do it on this thread or try to meet up in a community room? 💛
What do you think? 🕯
@gentleemperor
maybe we all can gather here on 13th and make sure we 'wear' our costumes 😀
Then, we can go to mcr and start caroling there 😁 What do you think?
@VictoriaLove7 Ohhh I love that idea! 😍 Let me tag everyone who has joined so far 🥳
@gentleemperor, We could also paste song texts into the rooms. Without spamming, that is.
@gentleemperor, we could format them nicely, with music emojis, etc. Different parts of the lyrics could be pasted by different persons. Just an idea.
