We have an old superstition here that says if you light a cigarette or a candle with another candle, a fisherman dies. I decided to look that up now. Sounds illogical, right?

Turns out, it does have real meaning behind it.
Back in the old, fishermen were poor and off-season they would often sell matches. So by not buying their matches, it could eventually starve them to death.

I find it interesting to once again find a logical reason in old idioms. This one is common in Northern Europe and Eastern Europe.
Please comment if you've heard it in your country! :)

How Christian Was Europe, Really?

Let us take a look at the records of Adam of Bremen, who wrote about the Polabian Slavs living in what is today Eastern Germany—regions such as Mecklenburg, Pomerania, Holstein, and the island of Rügen. Adam, being a Christian priest, was clearly biased, but even he had to acknowledge certain truths. Here are some of his statements:

> "All the inhabitants still live in ignorance, according to their pagan rites. However, when it comes to morals and hospitality, no more honorable or kind people can be found."

He continues:

> "It seems that the Slavs and the Swedes still continue to practice their pagan rituals. All those who had been baptized quickly returned to their pagan customs and beliefs."

Further on, he writes:

> "Gold is abundant there, their horses are the best; all houses are filled with pagan seers, fortune-tellers, and sorcerers. Those who were once baptized under Prince Mistivoj soon returned to paganism and their ancient faith."

Contrary to his expectations, the Slavs were extremely hospitable toward him. Because of the prevailing Slavic paganism and what he considered "barbarism," he expected to be met with hostility as a Christian priest and missionary. Yet, despite his bias, Adam could not deny how noble and welcoming the Slavs were—even before Christianization.

There is one truth connecting all forms of paganism, and we´ve forgotten it...

In the 19th century, a special interest sparked in the Lusse celebration, due to the first wave of nationalism and the search for old folk traditions all around Sweden. Lusse, which was mainly celebrated by men or women dressing up in white with a crown of flowers, holding candlesticks and walking around the farm with food while singing in the morning, gave the foundation to the modern Lucia.

As we say here in Sweden today: I wish everyone a GLAD LUCIA!

Lusse bread is baked to honor Sunna (the sun) and attract it back when it was at its darkest, today's lusse cats still have the old Sunna symbols (the spirals at the ends).
