There is this feast in Scandinavia (and some other places) on december the 13. where the return of light is celebrated and young beautiful maidens in white skirts enter the rooms carrying candles and singing songs with gentle voices.
I thought that geese with their white feathers did fit quite well in to this picture... apart from the voices.
I haven't any of my usual painting stuff at hand, so I had to improvise heavily, which some my regard as a challenge. I found it simply annoying...
do you celebrate it in germany too? this year, my best friend going to be lucia..

No, but I have been on a danish school where it was celebrated. I were never Lucia myself though, because it included to sing solo in front of a lot of people
No, it is actually more a celebration of light and if you by Yule refer to the heathen meaning I think that this is actually more close to christianity. Sinse the legend of Lucia talks of a woman who died the martyr death, killed because of her goodness. That's pretty much the rough of the story as I recall it.
Actually it is, as so often, a blend of pagan and christian tradition. The feast of the christian martyr Lucia coincided with the pagan celebration of the wintersolstice, which prior to the introduction of the gregorian calendar fell on the 13. december (now the 21.)
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
