Lucia and Starboy
Saint Lucy’s Day, celebrated on 13 December, honors Lucia of Syracuse, a martyr who helped Christians in hiding. Her name means “light,” and the day symbolizes hope during winter. In Scandinavia, girls wear white dresses and candle crowns, while boys join as “starboys” or other festive characters. The day is also marked in Italy, Saint Lucia, Hungary, and Croatia, with traditions like planting wheat to symbolize Jesus’ birth.
