Happy Lucia! 💙💛 Today, we celebrate one of 🇸🇪's most beloved traditions. 🕯️ At the heart of it is Lucia, the bearer of light, leading a singing procession of candle-carrying handmaidens and ‘star boys’, all dressed in white gowns.

Happy Independence Day, @ThisisFinland! It's said that you’re 'happier' than us. And you drink more coffee than us, and you probably last longer than us in the sauna. But you do fear us in ice hockey 😉. Take a bow, awesome neighbour! 🇸🇪 ❤️ 🇫🇮 📷: Ants Vahter/Visit Finland

Tomorrow is All Saints' Day in Sweden, in memory of those who have passed away. ❤ To many, it's a day to visit a cemetery to light candles and lay flowers on a grave or by a memorial grove. 🌹 📷: Cecilia Larsson Lantz/ImageBank.Sweden.se
