概要

This is the story of the Longest Night, and the two figures- one feared, one beloved- who came to define it.
Every December 13th, Scandinavia celebrates a saint of light. But long before the candles of Santa Lucia glowed, the longest night of the old winter solstice belonged to Lussi- a powerful and formidable spirit who inspected every home and barn. Her annual visit was met with both reverence and fear.
How did the story of this ancient winter entity transform into the beloved celebration of a saint of light? This is the tale of a profound folklore evolution: the night a Winter Spirit was remembered, reinterpreted, and ultimately, reborn as a Saint.
Has the old gods been replaced by the new? who is Lucia of Syracuse? There is no shortage of folklore and mythology associated with the winter season. Many symbols have evolved with the introduction of Christianity to these regions, often blending with remnants of old traditions.
