There are about 6000 Swedes in Toronto and many more all over Canada. While there are celebrations of Sankta Lucia within those ethnic groups it is largely unknown to the rest of us...
For some reason, one of the daycare workers where my daughter goes decided to teach the kids a little bit about Sankta Lucia. Apparently they do a little bit for all the various holidays around the world. I had no idea they were doing this until after I'd posted this, which is why I thought it was kind of odd.
As for why I posted it here... why not. I'm not European and I wanted everyone else to know about this neat little tradition. We all need a little more light at this time of year.
