Saint Lucy or Sveta Lucija is celebrated throughout the country on December 13th ✨ In some southern and northeastern parts of Croatia, Saint Lucy was the one who brought children presents 🎁 Nowadays, on this day it is popular to plant Christmas Wheat, or Božićna pšenica in Croatian 🌱 It is believed that the taller the wheat grows, the more prosperous the new year will be. This tradition dates back to times when agriculture was the main economic activity. By Christmas Eve, the wheat should be tall and bright green and is tied with a ribbon in red, white and blue, the colors of the Croatian flag. This day is usually accompanied with a large feast. Saint Lucy was one of the earliest Christian martyrs and was killed by the Romans for her religious beliefs. She is known as the patron saint of virgins, sight and the city of Syracuse, Sicily.

I found out at the ripe old age of 24 that this was a little further from the truth than I thought.
