Many Hands Make St. Lucia Bread

Our Saint Lucia day was made possible by many little hands, eager to help. In lieu of the traditional saffron buns we made a beautiful braided bread. I found the recipe here.

It was so yummy! Just sweet enough with a hint of orange. My little helpers zested oranges and cracked eggs...

And then we all rolled the candles to adorn our bread.

Perfect! We do nothing too much for this particular day. We make our light and celebrate with an ease. There's no need to overdo.

Hope your light is shining brightly through these darkened days!
