Lucia traditional song (English version)
Walk in a procession and sing the song.
Now the light is carried forth,
proud on its crown,
in every house and home,
the song shall ring.
Now the light is carried forth,

our circle of friendship is greeted,
Saint Lucia,

St. Lucia Wreath
Need: green posterboard, construction paper (yellow, white, green,
red), yellow tissue paper
Cut a circle from the posterboard about 12" (30cm)long and
12" (25cm) wide. Cut out the center to fit on a child's head
(like a hat brim). Make small cuts of about 1" (2.5cm) around
the inner circle. Try it on a child's head. It should fit snugly.
Make about 5 candles by rolling and taping white construction paper
into tubes. Make several clips at the base of each candle and bend
them outward. Tape the candles to the circle and place crumpled
yellow tissue paper into each end for a candle flame.
Cut leaves from green construction paper. Cut small red circles from
construction paper for the berries. Glue leaves and berries to the
wreath covering the wreath and the candle bases.
