St Giles Church, Oxford was the venue for a group to gather to learn about, and have a taste of, the Swedish Lucia celebration.

The day was coordinated by Lovisa Liyanage.The event was held on 26 October 2013 and, despite the cold, the participants greatly enjoyed a bit of craft work, plenty of singing and coffee (with pepparkakor!) and, finally, appropriately dressed, the Lucia celebration itself.

The pictures tell the story …..
