About Third Advent Sunday

Third Advent Sunday in Sweden is marked by the lighting of three candles on the Advent candlestick as families prepare for Christmas. Many communities also celebrate around this time with traditional Lucia concerts featuring saffron buns and glowing lights. It is a widely observed cultural and religious tradition throughout the country.
