Lucia is celebrated on the 13th of December. Originally the day was dedicated to St. Lucia of Syracuse, but the Swedish holiday seems to have little to do with her person.

St Lucia was a young Christian girl who was martyred, killed for her faith, in 304AD. The most common story told about St Lucia is that she would secretly bring food to the persecuted Christians in Rome, who lived in hiding in the catacombs under the city. She would wear candles on her head so she had both her hands free to carry things. Lucy means 'light' so this is a very appropriate name.
