I will never forget seeing Saint Lucia when our daughter was in her first year at Waldorf, in Karen’s Kindergarten class. I could not believe my eyes to see a young child walking with such care and reverence with lit candles upon her head. I went home and told my husband, “They celebrate Saint Lucia with REAL candles! How cool is that?” We started celebrating Saint Lucia in our family a couple years before that but with battery operated candles. Then, it was such a treat for us to see our daughter shining her light when she was in 2nd grade. While she was a bit nervous beforehand, she persevered under the loving guidance of her teacher, Ms. Garlieb. (Julia Wahlin)
