Quotable Sunday: Sankta Lucia

Now in the winter night
Good folks are waiting
See now the maid of light
Darkness abating
Symbol of love sublime
Moving o’er space and time
Sankta Lucia, Sankta Lucia
- English Translation of traditional Swedish Song “Sankta Lucia,” verse one.

Happy Sankta Lucia day to all my Scandinavian friends and family. The local Swedish-American Heritage group celebrated last weekend and my dear little ones were tomtes, sneaking about in one song. Such fun and memories. If I look long enough, I may be able to dig up a picture of me as a second grade Lucia…we’ll have to see if I can do that by the 13th… By then, we’ll be on the road, somewhere between here and Arizona. So stay tuned for phone-quality pictures updating travel.

Join us for Quotable Sunday. In a tradition started by Kyrie of Are So Happy and carried on with Kerry of Young Ones and Linnea of PeppermintAlley, we invite you to post a quote on your site. Quotations can be old favorites or new inspiration…funny or sentimental…famous or personal…just give credit (where credit is due) and have fun. Thank you for joining our Sunday rhythm.

How do you join us?

After you have made a post, link it via comments to Kerry’s post. Be sure to link back to this post so your friends can also contribute. You can also join our flickr group and add your weekly contribution there. Kerry is our host in December, Kyrie will host in January, and I’ll host again in February. (Don’t worry, we’ll link it all up so you know where to go and add your contribution!)
