It is said that St. Lucia is an Italian saint who has been "adopted" by the Swedes. She gave her dowry to the poor. Her fiancee denounced her for this. She was blinded and burned. The flames didn't touch her so she was stabbed in the heart. This holiday celebrates the fact that the days will now get longer. In the picture is the Lucia train as celebrated at Swedish ambassador's residence in Dar es Salaam last Suturday night.
