On the longest night of the year, our longing for light is at its greatest. From time im-
memorial this has found expression in rituals and popular customs. Thus, over 5000
years ago, in the Stone Age, the burial mound “Newgrange” (north of Dublin) was
laid out so that a ray of light would fall into the cross-shaped burial chamber only
on the longest and the shortest days of the year.
This day also honors “she who is full of light,” as the name “Lucia” signifies (follow-
ing the old Gregorian calendar today on Dec. 13th). In the Middle Ages in Sweden,
for example, St. Lucia’s Day marked the beginning of the pre-Christmas fasting peri-
od that preceded the Holy Night in which Jesus, “the light of the world,” was born;
since the angels announced from heaven in a bright light: Glory be to God on high,
and peace on earth, good will to men!”
Here the circle closes, and here it becomes clear why Saint Lucia is so closely lin-
ked to the winter solstice and Christmas. December 13th is traditionally celebrated,
especially in Sweden, with a festival of lights and Lucia songs in which St. Lucia is
sung about as the bringer of light and harbinger of Christmas.
The artists here present us an impressive compendium of music linked to our about
St. Lucia from the Baroque to our time
