I found it really interesting learning about St Lucia Day so here is a little more information about this special day…

St. Lucia Day is a joyful celebration filled with light and warmth. Known for its candlelit processions, the day brings people together to honor a figure associated with hope and kindness. Girls dressed in white with glowing crowns lead the way, creating a beautiful scene that captures the spirit of the season. This tradition is not just about the outward display but also about reflecting the inner light that Lucia represents. People celebrate St. Lucia Day to honour the values of light and charity. Lucia symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, offering comfort during the year’s darker days. The celebration also highlights It encourages kindness and the spreading of joy, making it a meaningful event for many.

Thank you to the Royal British Legion, your work is important for so many.

Wearing a poppy is a show of support for the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. It represents all those who lost their lives on active service, from the beginning of the First World War right up to present day. It also honours the contribution of civilian services and the uniformed services which contribute to national peace and security and acknowledges innocent civilians who have lost their lives in conflict and acts of terrorism.

The poppy has been a symbol of Remembrance for over 100 years. The poppy became a symbol of Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future in the aftermath of the First World War. Since 1921 our collectors have been at the heart of the Poppy Appeal. And this year they will be back in local communitites across the UK to collect donations that help RBL continue its vital work.

There is no ‘correct’ way to wear a poppy
Wearing a poppy is a personal choice reflecting individual and personal memories. It’s a matter of personal choice whether someone chooses to wear a poppy and how they choose to wear it. From paper poppies to pins, bag charms to pet poppies, the best way to wear a poppy is simply with pride.

The poppy is red because that’s the natural colour of the poppy flower. During the First World War previously beautiful countryside was blasted, bombed and fought over, again and again. The landscape swiftly turned to fields of mud where little or nothing could grow. But out of this devastation the delicate but resilient bright red Flanders poppies grew and flourished in their thousands.

The red poppy directly supports the Armed Forces community. The red poppy is worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces communities across the UK, Allied Forces and the Commonwealth. Only donations from the sale of our red poppies go directly towards helping the Armed Forces community.

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.

When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
