(Beaver Falls, PA)  The staff of WBVP-WMBA celebrated the Scandinavian holiday of St. Lucia Day with a special Swedish Food Luncheon.  Three varieties of  Korv.  Rice Pudding (made by station Vice President Cyndi Peterson), Lingon Berries, Sill (pickled Herring), Swedish  Chocolate Trojan Horses, Ginger Snaps (Pepparkakor), Swedish Spritz Cookies, Bondost Cheese, Glogg (a hot spiced drink), Cinnamon Cardamon Rolls (Kardemummabullar), Swedish Fish, Swedish Meatballs and Limpa Rye Bread.

According to Wikipedia, Saint Lucia Day is celebrated most commonly in Scandinavia, with their long dark winters, where it is a major feast day, and in Italy, with each emphasising a different aspect of the story. In Scandinavia, where Saint Lucy is called Santa Lucia in Norwegian and Sankta Lucia in Swedish, she is represented as a lady in a white dress and red sash with a crown or wreath of candles on her head. In Norway, Sweden and Swedish-speaking regions of Finland, girls dressed as Lucy carry rolls and cookies in procession as songs are sung.

Here are some pictures from our Celebration earlier today.
