The best know St. Lucia's Day tradition in Hungary is Luca's Chair.
You have to start working on it on December 13th. It is made of 9 kinds of wood with wooden nails only. It should be completed over the course of 13 days.
On the 25th you can take it to midnight mass, and standing on it you can see witches. Then you have to run home (tossing poppy seeds over your shoulder to slow down the witches) and burn the chair.
This is the least Christian #Christmas tradition 😆

December 13.
The two cows

Today is St. Lucia's day! I picked this tale, from the Hungarian Roma tradition, accordingly.

A poor man has two cows. On Lucia's night he goes out to guard them from wandering witches. Because on this night animals can talk, he overhears them complaining about their food and the way he treats them.
After that the man pays more attention to caring for his cows, and teaches others to do the same.

They Called Us Brigands: The Saga of St. Lucia's Freedom Fighters by Robert J. Devaux; Patrick A.B. Anthony

The Black freedom fighters of the Lesser Antilles became known as “brigands” during the french revolution. Their fascinating story has never been written, perhaps because they have been dismissed as runaway slaves in a state of insurrection. The author believed that history has been unfair to the “brigands”. He felt indebted to them for sparing the life of his great-great-great-grandmother who was left in their care when the rest of the Devaux family fled to Martinique for safety. His gratitude motivated him to attempt to exonerate the “brigands” from the stigma of their history and present them in a different light, as freedom fighters caught up in a desperate situation.

The French Sugar Business in the Eighteenth Century by Robert Louis Stein

Plantations in the French Antilles (principally in Haiti) became major sugar producers in the 18th century, and France became a main distributor to other European countries. Stein provides a clear and coherent (if sometimes repetitious) explanation of the three-pronged trade; ships from France carried slaves from Africa to the Antilles, and then returned to Europe with sugar. The slaves, most of whom died of disease and overwork, were victims of the French sugar trade.
