I refuse to believe you’re human bc everything you do is just so magical it’s almost as if you came out of a story book about fairies and woodland elves. thank you so much for sharing what you do :)
Aww Andy, I am so glad to hear that you liked to see this video. And I really hope the surgery went well and that you feel better soon. Sending you all my healing thoughts
Agreed-you carry much of the Fairy in you .... all the trees delight in your love and administrations to them.... all mossy beds delight in your footsteps.... a real live human fairy girl, reminding us to love our planet, each other, and all living things.Thank you Jonna Jinton and Nannuk and Johan, and kitties for healing me, liberating me. Mwah, blowing kisses your way.
@@AndrewKendall71 St Lucia isn’t even Swedish, she’s a random Christian saint from another country that was used to bury the true Pagan meaning of the “Lucia” celebration
@@Jennifer-yy8op I kinda though attacks on Christmas were considered absurd. Surely there's room in tradition to avoid that in either direction, Christian or pagan. Nobody's driving off observing solstice by observing Lucia.
@@Jennifer-yy8op You dont have to be so mean about it. St Lucia is coming from Italy. It doesnt matter if it is not swedish, let people celebrate what they want and think about it in a way that brings people joy. Here in Sweden it is a big part to celebrate the light in cold and dark winter.
I'm Italian, and where I live we celebrate Santa Lucia as well...but - unfortunately - not in this way. It would be amazing to have such a beautiful tradition...this makes me so emotional ❤❤ thanks Jonna
Michelle // Daughter Of The Woods Ikr, white people coming right out and saying that they love their culture and that we should preserve it. What is this world coming to!
Arianrhod 14 I really don't understand why we can't just live in peace and cherish every single culture and tradition without harming anyone and without being racistic. Black people can be proud of their culture as much as white people, we should all tolerate each other and our heritage! And Lucia is about giving light in times of darkness! Why can't we just share love instead of hatred?
Michelle // Daughter Of The Woods I agree completely. However, white people can't have pride in being white without being hated on and called racist/neo nazi/kkk/ect. Just look at what the West has become. I believe that all cultures and all races/ethnicities have a right to pride and a place in this world. But less and less people believe that white people have those rights. Btw, I say white people because it covers Europeans and the European diaspora.
I’m not White but this was one of the most beautiful and touching videos I’ve ever seen about Scandinavian culture. Please keep your culture alive, it’s too precious for it to die out.
This is my favorite Lucia film ever. I remember being so inspired by it last year that I made my own this year. I didn't even freeze at all, wandering through the woods with my little candle. It's a hauntingly magical tradition. I miss living in Sweden. This is so beautiful and gives me all the Christmas vibes.❤️
Autrice grazie mille per tenete viva questa gentile tradizione nordica e lodigiana. Alla fine tutto si rivela nella fiducia spirituale. Quello che conta è fa la differenza è sempre la intenzionalità.
Thus is so beautiful! I am from the US and the holiday season has for many become so commercial... to see something like this reminds me what the season is all about. Thank yo for such purity and simplicity.
Me too. I see Jonna in this video (5 years ago) searching... in the 2022 video I see Jonna standing in her power, not searching anymore. Beautiful transformation.
Maru Santa does mean saint . Sancta is plural for a holy place. Furthermore the Santa in Santaclaus derives from Saint Nicholas or as we’ve called him in the Netherlands for centuries: Sinterklaas
I love Latin and am pretty Christian and when Veni Veni Emmanuel came on and I mouthed all the words at this 3 AM hour I’m just grateful no one was around to get creeped out. Beautiful video!!
I am so thankful I can learn about Swedish traditions from you, as I am Swedish and long to know more about my ancestors and our family rituals and celebrations
This was the most beautiful thing I have every watched the music, the lights, the girl. Such grace, such beauty. Alone in the night in a place like I have never known. Thank you Jonna for being the most amazing person so talented God has surly given you a gift to help us see the grace and love we all should share. This felt like Christmas should feel. And here I am in 2019 the middle of summer in Griffin GA. You have given me a new light in the way I have looked at all people of the world we are all the same no matter where we may be. I just wish people could see this and let it work in their hearts the way it has worked in my. God bless you Jonna love and hugs from GA USA Shirley I hope you read my works it comes from my heart with love, the love you share with all of us here. bye bye please never stop doing what you were meant to do you bless so many
This was a Lucia initiation for me. I found it very beautiful & awe-inspiring. I will endeavor to add this magical journey into some woods to my own holiday traditions. Thank you, Jonna🙏🏻🌲☮🕯
Peter Antal the biggest problem we have is that we have a government that wants to take our heritage, our culture and our traditions away from the native people
ur skraggen I know, I know, that's why I wrote that "diplomatically" the same problem is all over the Europe. In Slovakia where I'm from originally from they push on us the values and the culture it's not ours. They try to tell us our folk tradition is not good... We k ow where and what is the problem... Anyway, again, beautiful folk tradition keep it and don't let nobody to destroy your tradition, your nation and the way of life.
Lucia is a great tradition but it's not actually a folk tradition, it was created as a mix of German and Scandinavian traditions together with the myth of the Syracusan Saint, only 100 years ago by the Stockholm upper class. The tradition is alive and well, and evolving, as traditions are. In fact, this video is a great example of how the Lucia expression can be done differently.
The Lucia tradition is one of the things which have made my choir-years truly unforgettable. Wonderful to watch, and even more wonderful to participate in.
So beautiful. God is light, God is love. God makes all things, and without him was nothing made. God is light, and life, and love. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us.
Dear Jonna, I have stumbled upon your channel by total accident. (Dec.4, 2020) Your channel has become the most inspirational channel I have ever seen! I find PEACE and feel INSPIRED in every video I watch. This video of "LUCIA" in particular brought tears to my eyes. It's sooooo BEAUTIFUL so MAGICAL...I want to say THANK YOU! The BEAUTY in your videos I believe have come into my life when I needed it most! I will never stop watching........
Дорогая Джонна, ❤, как это мило, твоя работа великолепна, ты создаёшь такие прекрасные образы, и твои изделия из серебра очень красивые, очень хочется заказать. С Рождеством тебя , моя дорогая, и всех твоих близких, и твоих животных, я очень их полюбила, у меня тоже много животных. Твои видео помогают мне выжить в это не лёгкое для всей планеты время. Люблю тебя, счастья тебе не земного!!!
I never get tired of these St. Lucia videos! I love watching them first thing in the morning while it is still dark on the 13th. I feel it is such a magical way to mark the beginning of the Solstice time! Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for bringing the Beauty of Your Light into this dark, cold & weary world. Thank you for shining the Purity of Your Love & Peace all around the globe. We need it so much in all the nations of the world.
❤️❤️❤️this reminds me of a Christmas book I owned when I was little. It was about Swedish winter traditions. Thank you for this loveliness. ❤️, from Texas
Higuy Cool Gunny as I was watching this, it reminded me of the same thing. Just a wisp of a memory, knew anout the crown of lights. I must have had the same book as a child. 💕💝
I'm crying after watching this Christmas Night of the Light, on Sept. 28th! For some reason I needed that Light now, presented with so much sacredness wrapped in welcome playful fairy feelings, with Jonna smiling in wonder, so happy. This was so comforting to my soul! 💎🙏 I've been too serious lately, ignoring my inner child's needs, being without putting the busy doing to rest. It's the most beautiful Christmas greeting I've ever watched and received in my 💛
When I was a child, my primary school had a teacher with Danish and Swedish roots. Rikhard was his name, but we just called him Riku. So of course he made sure Lucia's day was celebrated with a proper little parade. Here in Finland most primary schools do the Lucia's parade, at least the schools in my area, but his parade was always very much more beautiful. They'd sing the song in Finnish, but when Rikhard's class became the oldest in the school, they sang one verse in Swedish. This video brang me back to the days when I watched in awe and in a bit of jealousy as the girl playing Lucia led the parade around the school hall, nervous as she was the only one holding a real candle.
You're a bright creature, there's a great necessity for people like you in the world. You're a very sweet fairy. I'm Italian but when I was a little girl once I put Christmas candles on my head and sang "Santa Lucia" because I saw doing like that on TV. Light and love to all the people in the world
I love the time in sweden when Lucia and Yule arrive, the crunch of Kransnön and how the snow becomes illuminated with the candles burning light. I do hope that all old swedish traditions do not die out!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tradition. Here in Canada I’ve never heard of it and I found it so beautiful, joyful, and full of magic. Having a scandanavian background I am excited to learn more about these traditions.
My third grade teacher taught her class about Lucia every year. The kids and her would all bake special cookies and we would go around and sing at other classrooms. I learned more in that one year than all of high school. Thanks Mrs. Shecter!
Are there differences in the celebration? From what I've gathered Lucia here is a celebration of midwinter with a lot of assimilated old pagan traditions
My Gramparents came from Sweden I was close to them. I was a star boy years back im.67 now. But Your teaching me where I came from so very cool and nice. I kind of live like you too. In woods the woods with all my deer. Wood stove too. I.wont swim.in ice water though. Lol Thank You for Your nice videos I'm sending them to.my Granddaughters .
My grandmother was from Sweden and our family here in the U.S. still carries on many holiday traditions. I still remember, as the eldest daughter performing Santa Lucia for my family and grandmother. I still feel so proud of my heritage and I love teaching my young son about his heritage. It’s really wonderful to have found your channel. It seems like a dream come true to live like this. I commend you on your bravery and being able to live with nature instead of fighting nature to live. I hope to one day travel to 🇸🇪
Jonna your tradition is simply beautiful. Your ethereal, deep passion for your upbringing is seen in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your wonderful moments with us and sparking our hearts with light and love.
I think Jonna Jinton has a great attitude and best character. "Appreciation and satisfaction" is what I like her most. She adopt herself in every transition in her life in all aspects. The season, the food, animals, people around, task, work, job...Seeing the beauty around is a unique ability!
Dear Jonna, thank you so much for this beautiful (beyond words can explain) song and video and demonstration of love, wonder, and oooh so much more that there's for us to discover of our beautiful world, creation, the immense vastness of the skies, humanity, and everything that's there for us to see if we had our hearts, souls, and spirits open! Thank you so much. Today is my daughter's birthday! She's really an example of St. Lucia because she brings light wherever she is, for everyone she knows and everyone she doesn't know....it's as if God put her on this planet to light up other people's life...even though she's so young (early thirties), she has gone through so much pain and suffering and pains of the heart and soul, and still yet longing to find the one that's destined to be her husband, father of her future children, and love of her life. She brings so much happiness to others, and still she waits for God's blessings with a family of her own. Today, I entered RUclips looking for something special to send to her via text, something about Santa Lucia....and God brought me to your beautiful and meaningful videos....and I am just in so much peace, and filled with something special which is very hard to put into any language known to me or to humanity...it's just felt in the deepest being of our essence. God knows and those who feel the same way also know what I cannot express with words. Thank you so much. I have subscribed to your RUclips and I will take time to see your other presentations and gifts to us all. I wish you a very beautiful and Merry Christmas and a year 2021 filled with peace, health, tranquility, and most of all LOVE eternally! from your new friend in Brooklyn, New York, USA, Sarita Polanco.
Hi Jonna, I'm a new follower and I've just fallen in love with ur videos especially this one it's so beautiful, you made it beautiful! I live in the States in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are all desert here so seeing all that snow is just so beautiful. Keep doing what you do, you are fantastic at it!!!! And if my husband and I ever make it to Northern Sweden 🇸🇪 I would love to meet you!! Happy happy new year to you and your love, from me and my love, let's go 2023!!!!
We as catholics celebrate Saint Lucia here in Germany aswell, the song you sing 'Oh come Immanuel', my little brother was named after it! We sing it in church, too :) (in german of course) Beautiful video, as always. ❤️
@@MR-qw5wb Nai We had a reformation For a reason, martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses,, to tell the truth Of the gospel,, yeah. Although,, I do like The saint Lucy day. And the processions . The religious aspect is Not serious,, i do also Like the song,, My Father was Norwegian Lutheran, and came From Alesund, yeah.🤔
Its very fascinating how Jonna show to the world how with full consciousness , we can found magic in every single moments anytime everywhere! Thanks Angel!
Same tradition in Finland, i live so long in France, you remind me my childhood. Your channel is like an open door to my childhood, it's make me happy, thanks.
Thank you for this most beautiful depiction of the sacred feminine! I just rewatched it with my wife and it truly warms our hearts and lifts up our spirits. Very much appreciated in these dark times. All the best for the both of you! Greetings from Germany (or what’s left of it).
This is beautiful! My great-grandparents came to the United States from Sweden, but, unfortunately, didn’t pass along any Swedish traditions (other than the Angel Chimes, which we enjoy every Christmas). I am wanting my children to learn more about their Swedish heritage, and your beautiful videos will help. Thank you!
Amazing, Beautiful, Thank you so much. My words aren't sufficient to express how your video touched my heart with feelings of joy and love. My first viewing of your Lucia night videos. I have missed your videos lately. Sending love, light, joy and peace to you and yours. God Bless.
Thank you for the love and joy you share with the world. Your videos have beamed so much light during some very dark times. Merry Christmas and New Year from the other side of the world. Australia ❤
Thanks for sharing like this super and excellent video just for relaxing ❤❤❤ .such lovely voices and rhythms of this song..I think is sweeden .or finish from Finland..the best greatest. For this.
You are truly living my fairyland or another realm dream . Is it possible in today’s hypocritical world it’s so hard to believe. Absolutely living her own way away from city chaos so beautifully. Thanks for showing us possibilities for possibilities if you have passion and if you think truly you can. Directing , writing and acting her own script all in one❤️ You have spiritually magnetic powers to attract the so called spiritual magnetism , your originality touches core of the heart. I am sure will meet you once in this lifetime and if not just now it’s Indian standard time 2.48am and I am watching your one video after another and yet another ....so charismatic person you are 🌷❤️
One can taste the Pagan undertones in this wonderful ceremony, the alter out in nature and the seven stars as candles in the night, the same stars that our ancestors saw from the same groves in the woods.
I love this so very much! I come and watch your St. Lucia videos every year for my birthday, December 13th. Your video’s make the meaning of the day of my birth ever so much more special. I especially love sharing them and telling others about this special day. I love all of your songs and videos, you are indeed a bringer of light!! Wishing you so much love, light and laughter, this holiday season and always. Thank you for all you share with us!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is so beautifully done. I've watched it several times, and it always touches me inside and makes my eyes tear up. Jonna, you are fantastic, Thank you for your art.
I love your updates on Lucia, but I always come back to this one and never fail to appreciate it. Thank you for the beauty in all of your videos. I wish you and your husband a merry yuletide and a happy and healthy new year filled with light and love. 😇
Amazing as everything you do.⚘ This should be shown on swedish television and as you have, with the real text to the song no chanches of words🙏 Thank you Jonna ❄🌨☃️
May all loving beings who are trapped in Darkness be blessed with Divine light 💕🔥💕to light up their entire being 🌻 & guide them right💫🧚♀️✨ Hail & Welcome Saint Lucia 🌟👸🧝♀️🔥💕 & Bless & thank 🙏you dearest Joanna😘❤️❤️❤️🥰
There is something about you. I cannot stop watching. Your voice...the visuals....it ensnares you. Brings you in and holds you tightly. You can feel it all deep in your soul.
I discover this video now, before christmas, and it makes so much sens this year... I didn't know this tradition in Sweden, it's Beautiful!!! Thank you for so much poetry
So beautiful I’m crying (again). So much appreciate all the gentle care and planning you must do then the editing and music, thank you again and again for your beauty that you share from your amazing heart
I watch this every year on Lucia and I almost start crying before I put it on. I really can't put into words the feeling I get when I watch it... It touches something really deep inside. Thank you Jonna for giving us this magical moment.
Were are all deep inside, like Jonna. You just have to keep your child's soul, and look with the eyes of the heart. It's just much rarer to find. Thank you little fairy shaman Joanna, who came from the depths of time, for showing us the human path that we have forgotten. 🙏🙏🙏
I refuse to believe you’re human bc everything you do is just so magical it’s almost as if you came out of a story book about fairies and woodland elves. thank you so much for sharing what you do :)

Lucia is a Catholic saint, fyi
I love that I found you Jonna, you are my inspiration. This is a gorgeous piece of art and you are a huge light in the world
Ur inspiration must be God and hes son Jesus. This jana is satanic/pagan.
@@dragonraopen2604 What's behind your reason? Enlighten us.
Dragon RA Open Pagan and Satanic are not one and the same, you are so ignorant.
As a Christian Swede, I thank you for this... which I'm even watching in March, reflecting on Lucia and Christmas.
Lucia has nothing to do with Christianity, the tradition is completely Pagan & likely is based on Sunna the Pagan goddess
@@Jennifer-yy8op I know the day was originally not Christian (like many/most observed Christian "feast" 'days or holidays). But St. Lucy certainly is.

Sancta* which is latin for Saint (Saint Lucia) it has nothing to do with Santa xD
Maru Santa does mean saint . Sancta is plural for a holy place.
Furthermore the Santa in Santaclaus derives from Saint Nicholas or as we’ve called him in the Netherlands for centuries: Sinterklaas

This video brang me back to the days when I watched in awe and in a bit of jealousy as the girl playing Lucia led the parade around the school hall, nervous as she was the only one holding a real candle.
You're a bright creature, there's a great necessity for people like you in the world. You're a very sweet fairy. I'm Italian but when I was a little girl once I put Christmas candles on my head and sang "Santa Lucia" because I saw doing like that on TV. Light and love to all the people in the world
This is called ART OF LIVING... 😇.. 💐 Peace of mind.💐
Amazing Vdeo😍... Thnks fr sharing Wth us.. 😘
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
I love the time in sweden when Lucia and Yule arrive, the crunch of Kransnön and how the snow becomes illuminated with the candles burning light. I do hope that all old swedish traditions do not die out!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tradition. Here in Canada I’ve never heard of it and I found it so beautiful, joyful, and full of magic. Having a scandanavian background I am excited to learn more about these traditions.
My third grade teacher taught her class about Lucia every year. The kids and her would all bake special cookies and we would go around and sing at other classrooms. I learned more in that one year than all of high school. Thanks Mrs. Shecter!
Lucia is a tradition in Sicilia too, an island in Italy. ❤
Si creo que todos saben eso
Yes since Lucia came from Sicilia🥰 Hi from a Swede!
Are there differences in the celebration? From what I've gathered Lucia here is a celebration of midwinter with a lot of assimilated old pagan traditions
My Gramparents came from Sweden I was close to them. I was a star boy years back im.67 now. But Your teaching me where I came from so very cool and nice. I kind of live like you too. In woods the woods with all my deer. Wood stove too. I.wont swim.in ice water though. Lol Thank You for Your nice videos I'm sending them to.my Granddaughters .
My grandmother was from Sweden and our family here in the U.S. still carries on many holiday traditions. I still remember, as the eldest daughter performing Santa Lucia for my family and grandmother. I still feel so proud of my heritage and I love teaching my young son about his heritage. It’s really wonderful to have found your channel. It seems like a dream come true to live like this. I commend you on your bravery and being able to live with nature instead of fighting nature to live. I hope to one day travel to 🇸🇪
I watch yearly, and am always overcome with emotion by your Lucia video. Thank you, Jonna. I hope you enjoyed your Lucia day today.
Jonna your tradition is simply beautiful. Your ethereal, deep passion for your upbringing is seen in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your wonderful moments with us and sparking our hearts with light and love.
I think Jonna Jinton has a great attitude and best character. "Appreciation and satisfaction" is what I like her most. She adopt herself in every transition in her life in all aspects. The season, the food, animals, people around, task, work, job...Seeing the beauty around is a unique ability!
This was the most beautiful lucia celebration I've ever seen. I love our beautiful traditions!❤
Dear Jonna, thank you so much for this beautiful (beyond words can explain) song and video and demonstration of love, wonder, and oooh so much more that there's for us to discover of our beautiful world, creation, the immense vastness of the skies, humanity, and everything that's there for us to see if we had our hearts, souls, and spirits open! Thank you so much. Today is my daughter's birthday! She's really an example of St. Lucia because she brings light wherever she is, for everyone she knows and everyone she doesn't know....it's as if God put her on this planet to light up other people's life...even though she's so young (early thirties), she has gone through so much pain and suffering and pains of the heart and soul, and still yet longing to find the one that's destined to be her husband, father of her future children, and love of her life. She brings so much happiness to others, and still she waits for God's blessings with a family of her own. Today, I entered RUclips looking for something special to send to her via text, something about Santa Lucia....and God brought me to your beautiful and meaningful videos....and I am just in so much peace, and filled with something special which is very hard to put into any language known to me or to humanity...it's just felt in the deepest being of our essence. God knows and those who feel the same way also know what I cannot express with words. Thank you so much. I have subscribed to your RUclips and I will take time to see your other presentations and gifts to us all. I wish you a very beautiful and Merry Christmas and a year 2021 filled with peace, health, tranquility, and most of all LOVE eternally! from your new friend in Brooklyn, New York, USA, Sarita Polanco.
This is so beautiful! Makes the dark times just a little bit more magical. And now I'm gonna try to learn a bit more about the Lucia fest.
I will back to this masterpeace, every year, every time, when i will down. All my life... I swear. It's fantastic.... ❤
This video brought me peace and is like a dream. made me feel so warm inside; now finally I sleep.
Hi Jonna, I'm a new follower and I've just fallen in love with ur videos especially this one it's so beautiful, you made it beautiful! I live in the States in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are all desert here so seeing all that snow is just so beautiful. Keep doing what you do, you are fantastic at it!!!! And if my husband and I ever make it to Northern Sweden 🇸🇪 I would love to meet you!!
Happy happy new year to you and your love, from me and my love, let's go 2023!!!!
We as catholics celebrate Saint Lucia here in Germany aswell, the song you sing 'Oh come Immanuel', my little brother was named after it!
We sing it in church, too :)
(in german of course)
Beautiful video, as always. ❤️
❤️
Doe sit have the same meaning as the one she explained in the video? Bringing light to darkness and so on?
I love that Catholicism still celebrates cultures and celebrations such as this 💕
Annie - Ich wußte nicht das es diese tradition hier gibt... von wo kommst du
@@MR-qw5wb Nai
We had a reformation
For a reason, martin
Luther nailed his 95
Theses,, to tell the truth
Of the gospel,, yeah.
Although,, I do like
The saint Lucy day.
And the processions .
The religious aspect is
Not serious,, i do also
Like the song,,
My Father was Norwegian
Lutheran, and came
From Alesund, yeah.🤔
Its very fascinating how Jonna show to the world how with full consciousness , we can found magic in every single moments anytime everywhere!

Same tradition in Finland, i live so long in France, you remind me my childhood.
Your channel is like an open door to my childhood, it's make me happy, thanks.
Dziękujemy.
Everything in this video is just absolutely fantastic.
One of the best eight minutes ever posted on RUclips.
I am so very honored that you have this very time in history with us. I wish you health, happiness, prosperity with light and love!
Thank you for this most beautiful depiction of the sacred feminine! I just rewatched it with my wife and it truly warms our hearts and lifts up our spirits. Very much appreciated in these dark times. All the best for the both of you! Greetings from Germany (or what’s left of it).
Tu eres luz Jonna, eres un faro de luz inmenso!!, gracias por compartir, love!! 🙏💜🤗😘💜☀️🌞🌟
This is beautiful!
My great-grandparents came to the United States from Sweden, but, unfortunately, didn’t pass along any Swedish traditions (other than the Angel Chimes, which we enjoy every Christmas).
I am wanting my children to learn more about their Swedish heritage, and your beautiful videos will help. Thank you!
Lucia celebration is not truly scandinavian and is not real white culture. Is a christian abrahamistic celebration.
Hi Jonna, please never change yourself.. just be as you are. Lovely, peaceful and calm. Love from India. We all are so lucky that we’ve you.
Amazing, Beautiful, Thank you so much. My words aren't sufficient to express how your video touched my heart with feelings of joy and love. My first viewing of your Lucia night videos. I have missed your videos lately. Sending love, light, joy and peace to you and yours. God Bless.
Thank you for the love and joy you share with the world. Your videos have beamed so much light during some very dark times. Merry Christmas and New Year from the other side of the world. Australia ❤
Thanks for sharing like this super and excellent video just for relaxing ❤❤❤ .such lovely voices and rhythms of this song..I think is sweeden .or finish from Finland..the best greatest. For this.
You are truly living my fairyland or another realm dream . Is it possible in today’s hypocritical world it’s so hard to believe. Absolutely living her own way away from city chaos so beautifully. Thanks for showing us possibilities for possibilities if you have passion and if you think truly you can. Directing , writing and acting her own script all in one❤️
You have spiritually magnetic powers to attract the so called spiritual magnetism , your originality touches core of the heart. I am sure will meet you once in this lifetime and if not just now it’s Indian standard time 2.48am and I am watching your one video after another and yet another ....so charismatic person you are 🌷❤️
This is amazingly beautiful! It is the first time that I truly realize that Sweden is such a charming country. Best wishes to all of you. ❤️
One can taste the Pagan undertones in this wonderful ceremony, the alter out in nature and the seven stars as candles in the night, the same stars that our ancestors saw from the same groves in the woods.
I love this so very much! I come and watch your St. Lucia videos every year for my birthday, December 13th. Your video’s make the meaning of the day of my birth ever so much more special. I especially love sharing them and telling others about this special day. I love all of your songs and videos, you are indeed a bringer of light!! Wishing you so much love, light and laughter, this holiday season and always. Thank you for all you share with us!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday! :)
@@Gullvivas thank you so much!!!
When I was a little girl in school, we would celebrate St. Lucia. It was always a magical moment, just as you have created here.
This is so beautifully done. I've watched it several times, and it always touches me inside and makes my eyes tear up. Jonna, you are fantastic, Thank you for your art.
this is the most beautiful Christmas church services at Christmas other than midnight mass. I love the Lucia song.
Du är underbar, våra Lucia, jag tackar dig 🌲😇
I love your updates on Lucia, but I always come back to this one and never fail to appreciate it. Thank you for the beauty in all of your videos. I wish you and your husband a merry yuletide and a happy and healthy new year filled with light and love. 😇
Amazing as everything you do.⚘
This should be shown on swedish television and as you have, with the real text to the song no chanches of words🙏
Thank you Jonna ❄🌨☃️
Glory to God for such a beautiful tradition 😇

Stetically perfect. How talented you are and how kind you are. Keep it forever it is a blessing to us. Cheers from Brazil.
There is something about you. I cannot stop watching. Your voice...the visuals....it ensnares you. Brings you in and holds you tightly. You can feel it all deep in your soul.
I discover this video now, before christmas, and it makes so much sens this year... I didn't know this tradition in Sweden, it's Beautiful!!! Thank you for so much poetry
Love you Jonna 💞Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us 💖😀
Oh my God Jonna, this is absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing this to us!
Oh my god...this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...Thank you so much for uploading this and keeping beautiful traditions alive :)
So beautiful I’m crying (again). So much appreciate all the gentle care and planning you must do then the editing and music, thank you again and again for your beauty that you share from your amazing heart
I watch this every year on Lucia and I almost start crying before I put it on. I really can't put into words the feeling I get when I watch it... It touches something really deep inside. Thank you Jonna for giving us this magical moment.
Magical! You definitely spread some light to our hearts! Thank you!!
Ahhhhh!!!! My Heart is soaring!!!!! Thank you for taking me ( even for a few moments) to such a beautiful place where all I feel is Love and Joy!!!!
Like I'm watching a fairytale movie settled more than 100 years ago...And the music matches!
So sweet and uplifting, and particularly in this time of global darkness. Please keep bringing the light sister. We need all the positive we can get.
Girl I know you had to have been so cold. This was eccentric. Beautiful. Captivating. Soul warming. Thank you.
Were are all deep inside, like Jonna. You just have to keep your child's soul, and look with the eyes of the heart. It's just much rarer to find. Thank you little fairy shaman Joanna, who came from the depths of time, for showing us the human path that we have forgotten. 🙏🙏🙏
