St. Lucia’s Day is an important holiday celebrating light during the long, dark winter—especially in Scandinavia, where some regions may see only a few hours of daylight.
The holiday is celebrated on December 13, close to the winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year. Learn more here: https://www.britannica.com/story/st-lucias-day#:~:text=of%20Encyclopaedia%20Britannica-,St.,shortest%20day%20of%20the%20year.
