These lovely Lussekatter Saint Lucia Buns are also often called Saffron Buns, they’re shaped like an S and studded with two raisins at each end { and Smidge starts with an S;)} In Scandinavia, Advent is celebrated on the four Sundays before Christmas Day. These are often baked on Saint Lucia Day which falls on December 13th, the Friday before their Third Sunday Advent. Saint Lucia is thought to be a young woman who comes bearing lights and sweets. Sometimes there is a procession led by a young girl dressed in white, wearing a crown of candles { or lights }, with other young girls each carrying one light following behind. Doesn’t that just sound heavenly?
