Royals in Norway and Sweden have marked one of the most cherished Advent days.
In Norway, the Royal House shared a video on their Instagram of the Bolteløkka girls choir, dressed as St Lucia, in the halls of the Royal Palace. The girls wore white dresses with a red belt; each had a crown of candles on their head to portray St Lucia as they sang.
St Lucia Day occurs every 13th December to honour Lucia of Syracuse – a martyr under persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire.
