EDITORS COMMENTS
Procession of lights. . . the festival of St Lucia, Sweden's adopted saint, was celebrated by the Kirklees Anglo-Scandinavian Society at Stocksmoor Village Hall. The festival of light included a mesmerizing procession led by Heidi Langton, radiating with ethereal beauty as she wore a crown adorned with flickering candles. Her presence symbolized the arrival of light in a world shrouded in darkness. Accompanying Heidi were three enchanting figures, Lyndsay White, Tanya Langton, and Alison Keighley. Each held their own candle, illuminating the path ahead and spreading warmth and joy to all who witnessed this magical spectacle. Captured on December 11th, 1988, this photograph transports us back to an era steeped in tradition and wonder. These young girls embody the spirit of Christmas as they don delicate costumes that harken back to ancient times when such processions were believed to ward off evil spirits during winter solstice celebrations. The image encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the importance placed on preserving cultural heritage. It is through events like these that communities come together to honor their shared history and embrace diversity. As we gaze upon this scene from West Yorkshire's past, let us be inspired by its timeless message: even amidst darkness, there is always hope for light.
