Santa Lucia Day is a festival of light celebrated in Swedish homes and schools on one of the darkest days of the year. This holiday, which honors Santa Lucia, patron saint of Sweden, usually takes place on December 13.
A celebration of hospitality, Santa Lucia Day teaches the values of sharing and caring for others.

There will be food, dancing, baked and other goodies on sale!

Each year one of the teen girls in the club gets the honor of being Santa Lucia, in which she wears a white gown with a red satin sash and a wreath of candles on her head.
