It's that time of year again when the Swedes pull their "cultural antics" on us and make us dress funny and sing songs we don't understand the lyrics to: The Saint Lucia's Day Hash. Information provided below for you newbies.
Directions are as follows.
Run/walk starts at 18.00 from plot 13185, Legerwa Place in Broadhurst, Followed by an On-After-Lucia
Dress code = white and glitter (optional)
Directions:
From "BBS mall" drive east and follow Lemmenyane, go straight at the circle, take first road left, then turn right at T-junction (white apartments in front of you), then take the first right and go to the end of the road where you'll see the Legerwa compound.
Saint Lucia's Day (sometimes Lucy for short) is the Church feast day dedicated to Saint Lucy and is observed on the 13th of December. Its modern day celebration is generally associated with Sweden and Norway but is also observed in Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Finland,Hungary, Malta, Bosnia, Bavaria, Croatia, Slovakia, Spain and St. Lucia, West Indies.[citation needed] In the United States it is celebrated with cookies on the mantel in states for a large number of people of Scandinavian ancestry, often centered around church events.
In traditional celebrations, Saint Lucy comes as a young woman with lights and sweets. It is one of the few saint days observed inScandinavia. In some forms, a procession is headed by one girl wearing a crown of candles (or lights), while others in the procession hold only a single candle each.
