A cool tradition

Sunday was the Saint's day for St. Lucy, Santa Lucia.  And here in Monterrey, the celebration was wild.  By the canal downtown, there was a procession with literally a hundred girls with candles in a wreath on their head, and hundreds following them.  It was so beautiful, and even though I only caught a glimpse of it, it really touched me.

That's really weird. The Swedish celebrate it in December. I guess the Lutherans are just odd.
