Sankta Lucia is the slow and graceful processional in and out of the Luciatåg. The lyric that always struck me is the line about the sleeping shadows in “the parts that the sun forgot”. Whenever I would be a part of this slow procession in celebration of light I would experience a huge amount of restraint. It felt almost unnatural to have such a joyful concept be portrayed in such a somber way. This arrangement invites that joy out in the open. Welcome back to the light!
