Preschool Program: Lucia’s Legend

ASI’s Preschool Program creates opportunities for families to experience Swedish art, culture, and traditions together. Join us in December to explore the legend of Saint Lucia.

Families with preschoolers are invited to explore what “Swedish Christmas” means through Lucia’s Legend at the American Swedish Institute. This hands-on program introduces children and their grown-ups to the legend of Sankta Lucia through stories, music, and crafts.

Together, preschoolers and their important grown-ups discover the traditions behind Lucia Day by exploring questions like, “What do Swedish families do on Lucia Day?” and “Why do they do it?” Preschoolers will go home with their own Lucia Crown or Star Boy wand, recipes, and ideas for creating their own Lucia celebration at home. ASI’s Lucia Choir Director, Ingrid Aune, co-teaches this program with ASI Educator Lindsey Tscherne, guiding preschoolers through an engaging introduction to this beloved Swedish tradition.
