A tradition from old Sweden, going back to the fourth century, will be celebrated on December 13 at the Caribou, Maine store (176 Sweden Street - Caribou, Maine) on Saint Lucia Day. Early settlers brought this feast day with them from Sweden when they arrived in the 1870s and it has been observed in the community ever since.
