SPOILER ALERT: This event is not just for Swedes and it's not religious in any way and will probably result in 100% Christmas Spirit and happiness!
Kids welcome and we have two bars and a café with Swedish food and drinks!
For the third year in a row, LondonSwedes are hosting a set of unique Christmas concerts in the amazing Asylum Chapel, celebrating one of Sweden’s most beloved traditions - Lucia.
In December, Lucia is honored all over Sweden with candlelight processions that brighten up the dark winter days. These spectacular events feature the chosen Lucia wearing a crown of lights, and girls and boys in white gowns take place in schools, at work, in town squares or churches. They sing festive songs and spread warmth in the community. Lucia and her entourage have now made their way to London where they will share their magic and Christmas spirit in a traditional but yet so modern and fun way!
Featuring a stunning Lucia choir of 20 girls led by professional singer Cecilia Stalin, Lucia Nights is

About the tradition
The original name of this special day is Saint Lucy’s Day, however, in Sweden, we simply call it Lucia.Swedes have been celebrating Lucia for 400 years. The Queen of Light herself is an ancient mythical
figure with an abiding role as a bearer of light in the dark Swedish winter. Lucia was a young Christian
girl who was martyred, killed for her faith, in 304. Back then the persecuted Christians in Rome were
hiding in the catacombs under the city. She would secretly bring them food but had to wear candles
on her head for her hands to be free. The story was told by Monks who first brought Christianity to
Sweden.
week before as well. On Lucia’s day, you will see thousands of young girls and boys emerge from the
darkness, gently silencing the crowds with a procession of light and beautiful singing. Today the
action usually begins before dawn in schools, churches, and offices. The procession is led by the girl
picked to be Lucia, dressed in a long white gown with a red sash and a crown of lights. She is joined
by girls wearing similar outfits as her ( tärnor ), and boys wearing tall pointed hats and star wands
( stjärngossar ). Most Swedes feast on a special version of mulled wine ( glögg ) and saffron-flavoured
buns ( lussekatter ) during the week of Lucia.
