To see today\u00b4s elaboration we will go to the Scandinavian countries, specifically to Sweden, from where these <strong>Lussekatter or St. Lucia buns<\/strong> are typical.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Saffransbullar<\/em><\/strong> or saffron buns are Swedish sweets that are traditionally eaten until Christmas.

Jesus, who looked like a child, distributed these golden coloured buns among those who were good and thus managed to protect them and keep evil from them.<\/p>\n<p>The buns <strong>were flavored with saffron<\/strong> because their color <strong>was reminiscent of sunlight<\/strong>, a condition that would keep evil and darkness away. It is believed that there is a nexus between the name Lucia and Lucifer because of their phonetic similarity.<\/p>\n<h5>How to make St. Lucia buns.<\/h5>\n<p>There are many ways of shaping them, the most common is <em><strong>julgalten<\/strong><\/em>, the most traditional and recognizable by all of us in the shape of &#8211;<strong>S<\/strong>. Another very common way are <strong>two -S crossed as a cross<\/strong>, they are called\u00a0<strong><em>lana wagon<\/em>,\u00a0<em>julvagn<\/em>\u00a0o\u00a0<em>julkors<\/em><\/strong>. The most common shapes originated from the pattern of jewelry and photographs of northern Europe dating back to the Bronze Age. Other forms we can find are\u00a0<em><strong>Pojke, Gullvagn, Lilja<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Before baking, they are brushed with beaten egg and usually decorated with raisins, although we can also find cherries or dried cranberries, pearl sugar and almonds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recipe_media\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/bsstatic.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-8-767x939.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bsstatic.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-8-980x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Lussekatter, bollos de St. Luc\u00eda\" \/> <\/picture><\/div>\n<h5>Saffron, a valuable spice.<\/h5>\n<p>Not everyone could enjoy these golden buns. Saffron is one of the <strong>most expensive spices<\/strong> and only powerful people could afford it. The provinces surrounding <strong>Lake<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><em>M\u00e4laren<\/em><\/strong> in <em><strong>\u00d6sterg\u00f6tland<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Gotland<\/strong><\/em> consumed most of them by the late 1600s. From 1800 onwards, the consumption of these buns began to expand throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>Today most of the buns we find available on the market are made with<strong> food colorants that provide that characteristic shade<\/strong> because the use of such amounts of saffron in sweets would be very expensive. At the end of World War I, when the shortage of saffron forced bakers to find alternatives to this ingredient, other colorants were already used for this type of elaboration.<\/p>\n<h5>The figure of St. Lucia plays an important role in Sweden.<\/h5>\n<p>St. Lucia was the light-bearer in the dark winters giving way to the spirit of Christmas. Born in Syracuse, Sicily, in the year 283 and died in the year 304 AD.<\/p>\n<p>The way in which this Saint came to Sweden and part of Finland is unknown, as well as the way in which they appropriated this tradition. In the Middle Ages it was celebrated beginning the season of the Advent season, and Stockholm began to follow this tradition formally.<\/p>\n<p>Saint Lucia, educated in the Christian faith, consecrated her life to God and made a vow of virginity. Her sick mother committed her to a young heathen and she persuaded her to get rid of that commitment. He asked her to pray at the tomb of\u00a0 &#8220;<em>\u00c1gueda de Catania<\/em>&#8221; to cure her illness. The mother healed and Lucia asked her to free her from the commitment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recipe_media\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/bsstatic2.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-2-767x939.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bsstatic2.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-2-980x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Lussekatter, bollos de St. Luc\u00eda\" \/> <\/picture><\/div>\n<p>Her suitor accused her of being a Christian in the time of Emperor Diocletian and ordered her to be sacrificed to the gods. She was accused of witchcraft after several tortures and when she escaped from them unharmed, she was accused of witchcraft and therefore condemned to die at the bonfire. It is said that she survived the fire and her eyes were damaged, although she still saw. She was finally executed.<\/p>\n<p>According to tradition, her story was divulged throughout Sicily, consecrating her virginity to martyrdom.<\/p>\n<p>She is the patron saint of the view because of the legend that when Lucia was in court, without eyes, she kept seeing. She is also the patron saint of the poor, the blind, the sick and certain cities of Syracuse, Venice and Peter of the Mount.<\/p>\n<p>Since her death coincided with the winter solstice and the name of the Saint means &#8220;the one who carries light&#8221;, it would explain the later legend about her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>The reality between Lucia and the Swedish tradition.<\/h5>\n<p>In spite of what is believed, the celebration of St. Lucia&#8217;s Day will be celebrated in Sweden on 13th December, has nothing to do with her. The only thing they have in common is the name.<\/p>\n<p>December 13th has an error in the Julian calendar, 365,25 days. At first it seems a little bit out of phase, but 128 years later that error became 1 full day and until 1300 the error was out of phase for almost 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Originally the winter solstice was on December 25th, hence the Christmas celebration that day, but in the Middle Ages it was around December 13th. So, that was the longest night of the year at the time. A calendar dating back to 1702 specified on December 13:&#8221; <em>The longest night when the cold winter begins<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>It was believed that during that night evil was present all night long. That&#8217;s why, according to <strong><em>Folktron<\/em><\/strong> (popular beliefs), it is believed that it was dangerous and people stayed awake. In Germany there was a tradition of dressing a girl in &#8220;<em>Christkindlein<\/em>&#8220;, the child Jesus, who represented glory. This tradition came to Sweden, but instead of a girl it was a woman dressed in white with candles in her hair.<\/p>\n<h5>Tradition.<\/h5>\n<p>St. Lucia&#8217;s gesture conveys to the children of each house the opportunity to care for and asist for others. Parents tell their children how Lucia took care of orphans, pilgrims and widows, showing them that they should take care of all those who are sick or lonely. In fact, Swedish schools organize trips with the children to visit hospitals, orphanages and old people&#8217;s homes during those days.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition is that the eldest daughter of each household wakes up singing to her family and accompanies them to the well-stocked breakfast table, wearing a candlelight crown marking the beginning of Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Today, children also have the same opportunity to participate in this celebration by serving breakfast to their parents, a good cup of coffee accompanied by ginger biscuits and saffron buns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recipe_media\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/bsstatic2.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-5-767x939.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bsstatic2.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-5-980x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Lussekatter, bollos de St. Luc\u00eda\" \/> <\/picture><\/div>\n<h5>On this day, the young Swedes participate and celebrate &#8220;Lucia&#8217;s procession&#8221; (<em>Luciat\u00e5g<\/em>).<\/h5>\n<p>In this procession a girl represents Lucia and wears an attire consisting of a white tunic, red sash and a wreath of wire covered with blueberry leaves and 7 lit candles. It is accompanied by other maidens dressed in white with candles and the children are known for dressing as Magicians or Stars or even &#8220;gingerbread men&#8221; (<em>pepparkaksgubbar<\/em>) or <em>Tomte<\/em> (Scandinavian goblins, Swedish\/Norwegian version of Santa Claus).<\/p>\n<p>These buns are present in Swedish households during these days along with gingerbread, and are usually accompanied by some coffee or Gl\u00f8gg (spiced wine).<\/p>\n<h5>The feast of <em>Luciadagen<\/em> involves many traditions.<\/h5>\n<p>Some of them are very old, in which they say that this day sets the moment when it is not possible to shear, spin or weave, since Christmas presents must already be prepared. The cookies to be taken during the holidays should be ready and the candles that will decorate the tables should be stored somewhere special.<\/p>\n<p>Some of them consume <em><strong>lutfisk<\/strong><\/em>, a traditional Christmas fish made from dried white fish and caustic soda, claiming that to be in its exact point it should be buried in beech ashes the day before Saint Lucia. The latter tradition may be due to the fact that birch ash is used instead of soda in Finland, making the treatment less aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>According to their tradition, Christmas does not begin until everyone eats <em><strong>saffransbullar<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>pepparkakor<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recipe_media\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/bsstatic2.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-767x939.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bsstatic2.mrjack.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Lussekatter-980x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Lussekatter, bollos de St. Luc\u00eda\" \/> <\/picture><\/div>\n<h5>Our elaboration.<\/h5>\n<p>If there&#8217;s one thing I like to do is get to know the traditions of different parts of the world.
