The St Lucia's Day festival is celebrated across Scandinavia and is a mix of Christian and pre-Christian traditions © Sven Nackstrand / Getty Images 2. St Lucia's Day "Festival of Lights" and Yule, Scandinavia Known for its long dark winters, Scandinavia has a long tradition of marking the winter solstice with festivities that interweave pre-Christian and Christian traditions. St Lucia’s Day takes place on December 13 (the longest day of the year, according to the Julian calendar), a few days before the solstice itself. Before Christianity came to the region, the Norse recognized the winter solstice by burning large fires to scare away evil spirits, and this tradition has influenced the present-day “Festival of Lights,” now a holiday honoring St Lucia. A celebration of light conquering darkness, St Lucia’s Day processions feature thousands of candles and the household’s eldest daughter dons a white dress and a crown of candles before serving coffee and baked treats to the rest of the family. St Lucia’s Day kicks off the Yule season, a period more-or-less synonymous with Christmastime festivities. However, Yule (thought to originate from the Old Norse name for the festival, jōl) originally stems from a pre-Christian feast celebrating the coming return of the sun and the god Odin, and many current holiday traditions came from this festival – yule logs and evergreens, cider and mulled wine, gift giving and more.
