6″ Cloth Lucia by Charlotte Weibull of Lilla Torq-Malmo, Sweden. I purchased the doll in 1982 directly from Ms. Weibull. The doll came with the following information:” The celebration of Lucia according to legend is the story of a courageous Christian girl who lived on the island of Sicily. At night she would go to the catacombs to visit her Christian brethren, taking food and drink. As she had her hands full yet needed a light in the dark catacomb, she would carry candles on her head. So began the tradition of young girls wearing a crown of candles on Christmas Eve as they would bring food and drink to the people of their villages in the tradition of Lucia. “
