St. Lucia Day Buns

A tradition in Sweden, and in our home, these delicious buns are served on December 13th, St. Lucy's Day. When the girls were little, I dressed them up in a white robe and red sash, with a crown of holly. They loved to "make the coffee" - just push this button, dear - and serve these buns to Papa and Mama in bed. Now I serve them with hot tea as dessert after a dinner of Swedish meatballs.

You still make these! I'm missing so much being away every year...

I love the way Penelope is balancing on Ed's shoulder. :D

Canticle of the Creatures

Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord, all praise is Yours, all glory, all honour and all blessings. To you alone, Most High, do they belong,and no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.

Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures,especially Sir Brother Sun,Who is the day through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour,Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars,In the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and fair and stormy, all weather’s moods, by which You cherish all that You have made.

Praised be You my Lord through Sister Water, so useful, humble, precious and pure.

Praised be You my Lord through Brother Fire, through whom You light the night and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.

Praised be You my Lord through our Sister, Mother Earth who sustains and governs us, producing varied fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

~St. Francis of Assisi
