The magical Swedish tale of Lucia (or St. Lucia) is about a mythical figure who wears a wreath of candles around her head as she leads candlelit processions all over Sweden on Dec. 13.

Okay guys, so I was informed yesterday on Instagram that these St. Lucia Buns resemble boobs. I’m just going to say that up front because there’s a strong chance you might feel the same way. Regardless, let’s proceed here and get our minds out of the gutter (cough cough). When I was a little girl, ALL I wanted was to be just like Kirsten, the American Girl Doll. You know, the one with the braids and the cute apron? Oh, I had Molly and Felicity, but secretly just wanted to be Kirsten. My heart might have burst last winter when I visited the American Girl Museum in Chicago. Let me just say — that place is not just for little girls!!!! Anyway, if you share my obsession with Kirsten and read any of her books {oh, remember how amazing those books were?! Ah, childhood}, you know she celebrated St. Lucia Day on December 13th. It’s the day in Sweden that officially starts the Christmas Season and these rolls, St. Lucia Buns, are traditionally served. I remember making them for my fourth grade class on “heritage day” and then starting the tradition in my house to always bake these around December …
St. Lucia's Day falls on December 13th. Celebrate light on the darkest day of the year with some of these Swedish treats.
