Santa Lucia day

Today December 13th there was the traditional procession in the village with the statue of Saint Lucia. After, as it turned dark there were the fantastic hot air balloons set off. The weather was good today so they soared up in the sky. 

My BIL took some photos for me. It was too dark for my little camera.

There were many different ones. All painstakingly made by hand.

Different colours and patterns. So big!

Way up into the night sky until the fuel is all used up and then they fall down.

Kirsten has her Santa Lucia outfit today.

She even has the candles on her wreath.

Happy Saint Lucia Day Kirsten!
