The SWEA Yule Bazaar and the Lucia celebration represent one of the foremost cultural traditions in Sweden. There are many legends about Lucia and in each one she is the symbol of light and hope. Lucia comes on the darkest day of the year to herald in a joyous season with singing, feasting, and the spirit of friendship and goodwill towards all.

 

We open the doors to the Sanctuary at 10:30 am. The Lucia candle light procession will start at 11 am – the highlight of the Yule Bazaar.

The SWEA Yule Bazaar / Christmas market  opens after the Lucia procession, and Swedish crafts, gift items, baked goods and sweets will be available for purchase.

When you need a break from shopping, sit down and enjoy “fika”, a Swedish “coffee break”, and choose from a selection of Swedish glögg, coffee, home baked cinnamon rolls, traditional saffron buns and sandwiches.
