In Sweden, St. Lucia Day is their festival of lights. Early on St. Lucia Day, a young girl of the family dresses in a long, white robe with a red sash. On her head is placed a crown of greens, with lighted candles. She goes from room to room, waking the family and serving them coffee, cakes and Lucia buns flavored with saffron. Boys, called star boys, wear long, white shirts and pointed hats. They help carry the sweets.
