According to legend, Lucia came to Scandinavia when Sweden was in the throes of an appalling famine. At the peak of that terrible winter came a ship shining with light, laden with food and at the helm a beautiful girl, across the waters of Lake Vännern in the province of Värmland. Food was distributed and the people of Sweden were saved from starvation.
