St. Lucia Day


We learned about the Swedish custom of St. Lucia. She was a wealthy girl who wanted to help the poor. She even wore candles on her head so her hands would be free to serve the poor when it was dark.
The custom is for the oldest girl in a family to serve her family breakfast rolls. The boys assist as "Star Boys." We made orange rolls as a class and served the faculty!(They plan on it every year!)
