EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Christmas past with this charming image from Mary Evans Picture Library, featuring Santa Claus making a historic house call in Sweden in 1917. Unlike the modern-day tradition of Santa's covert chimney entrance, this photograph captures the jolly old elf presenting himself boldly at the front door of a Swedish household. The father, dressed in his best suit and hat, welcomes Santa with open arms, his children peeking curiously from behind. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us back in time to an era when Christmas customs were passed down through generations. The image, taken in 1917, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Christmas celebrations in Sweden. While the origins of Santa Claus are rooted in Saint Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop from Myra in present-day Turkey, the character evolved over centuries, eventually adopting the red suit and white beard we know today. Sweden's unique take on Santa Claus can be traced back to Saint Lucia, the patron saint of light, who was celebrated on December 13th. Lucia processions, featuring a girl dressed as the saint and wearing a crown of candles, were common in Sweden during the Middle Ages. Over time, Santa Claus became intertwined with the Lucia celebrations, and the tradition of Santa visiting homes on Christmas Eve took root. This photograph not only showcases the rich history of Christmas in Sweden but also highlights the enduring bond between families and the joyous spirit of the season. A must-have for history buffs, collectors, and anyone seeking to add a touch of nostalgia to their home, this vintage print is a treasure trove of Christmas memories waiting to be discovered.
