3rd Annual St. Lucia celebration Swedish holiday buffet | Events
Title (Max 100 Charaters)
WEST CHESTER, OH (FOX19) – This Friday at 6:30pm, IKEA West Chester will host its third annual St. Lucia, a traditional Swedish holiday celebration. Children from “Swedes In Greater Cincinnati” will go caroling throughout the store wearing St. Lucia costumes. Afterwards, they will treat visitors to Swedish holiday songs in the restaurant. The adult choir from “Swedes In Greater Cincinnati” will also sing.
The St. Lucia celebration is part of IKEA’s $9.99 all-you-can-eat Yulebord from 4-8:30pm. Yulebord is a special type of smorgasbord which is the standard Christmas dinner in Scandinavian countries. At IKEA you can have any item you want, when you want it, and then go back for more. Kids under 12 eat for $2.49.
The tradition of St. Lucia dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. "Saint Lucia" appears on December 13, wearing a white, full-length chemise, with a red ribbon around her waist and a wreath of lingonberry sprigs on her head. The wreath carries candle-shaped lights to give the effect of a halo. Lucia is followed by a choir of "star boys", who sing a repertoire of Christmas songs.
