The peculiar Swedish tradition of celebrating Lucia on December 13th involves waking Nobel laureates with a procession of girls in white dresses singing, showcasing cultural pride.
Lucia, or Saint Lucy, was an Italian martyr celebrated in Sweden, with her feast day aligning with the shortest day of the year under the Julian calendar.
Despite gender equality, the role of Lucia remains largely female-dominated, but there's been a trend of assigning boys to the role, often leading to media controversies.
