December 13, 6:00 PM – “UUC’s Saint Lucia Day Procession in Downtown Stamford” – Experience an adaptation of a Swedish Saint Lucia celebration at UUC! Join Elizabeth Jenkins-Sahlin (a Swedish-American born in Sweden) and Social Souls for a festive, family-friendly holiday tradition that spreads light, joy, and holiday cheer throughout downtown Stamford. In Sweden, Saint Lucia day celebrations mark the beginning of the Christmas season. At UUC, the “Saint Lucia Day Celebration and Luciatåg Procession” is an annual invitation to dress up (in white, if possible) and gather together with UUC congregants, family, and friends for a procession complete with music and merriment.

UUC’s Saint Lucia will meet participants in UUC’s Community Room at 6:00 PM and lead the procession of participants on a walk around downtown Stamford. The procession will conclude with a photo opp in front of the Christmas tree in Latham Park and the opportunity to partake in the Swedish tradition of dancing around the Christmas tree.
