Our St. Lucia Tea

I already shared with you how last year our priest celebrated Divine Liturgy on December 13th and we had a small tea at church in honor of St. Lucia.  This year we did not have a liturgy, so a friend and I planned an intimate celebration at home for a handful of girls who celebrate Lucia as their patron, as well as a few who don't!

The lussekatter were made from a basic fasting bread dough recipe formed into the traditional shape and dotted with dried fruits.

 Tea and fine china, always a fun way to make little girls feel special!
 The sweet Lucia doll can be found here, and the candle rings are here.

It was lovely last year to celebrate in church, but I confess that this intimate little celebration at home had such a pleasant, relaxed feel to it that I think was a nice change of pace.

    I am normally so delighted with my busy life of crossbows and swords and soccer and camping and puzzles and violins. But, every once and a while, when you post something like this, I wish just a little that God had given me a daughter! Such pretty photos!
