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! 😛🌟

@VictoriaLove7 @GentleEmperor
Haha, something definitely is wrong with the forums, with every amazing update comes even more "amazing" bugs and glitches, this time it seems the duplicate postings- glitch is taking over the forumland. 😃
No worries indeed, removed the extras from here currently, if anyone finds any more duplicate posts anywhere, please flag them, so they can be removed soon also! ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou hahaha amazing bugs indeed 🐞✨
Thaaanks Sun! I’ll make sure to do that if I see any duplicate posts around 💛

@gentleemperor
Aww that is one way to catch missed tags haha, I'm glad the upvote notices work now atleast. It's funny in a way lol, when one thing gets better here, other is broken. They trynna balance!😂😭
@VictoriaLove7
Lolll Vic! Where's the lie though! 😂🙈🤣
@GentleEmperor
Haha! Thankyou, lovely! 💛
(Somehow the tags didn't reach me ~ y'all, I'm telling you, it's another amazing bug 😂)
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou haha haven’t received any tags today either. Probably a bug. Didn’t get 10 tags from Victoria this morning with the duplicated posts 😆😉
I just check this thread all the time lol 😅
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
I'm gonna write down the quote as a reminder whenever I come across glitches 😁
@gentleemperor
I'm relieved to know you didn't get 10 tags from my multiple replies 😆
Now we parade in our Lucia train 🕯
