A Swedish cultural tradition celebrated for hundreds of years, the annual candlelit Lucia procession, is dying out across Sweden several news outlets have reported.

The two main causes for declining interest in the “very Swedish”, Christian tradition is due to a more ‘outward-looking’ young generation, and that the procession is deemed insufficiently inclusive of migrants.

Uddevalla, Södertälje, Koping, Umeå, and Ystad are this year among the growing numbers of cities and towns no longer holding the iconic cultural tradition, which has been celebrated in the same manner since at least the 18th century.

I wonder if it was a dark haired Muslim girl acting in a Muslim tale at a Muslim celebration if the Swedes would demand some blondness and Christianity, for diversity's sake and all. Somehow I think not.

How are you culturally inclusive and diverse if you by force or free will, abandon your own culture to embrace everyone else who doesn't look or act like you, and let them dictate their culture to you? Where's the compromise and inclusiveness in that? Sounds more like being conquered.

Find it interesting that the article mentions that the youth have simply abandoned the festival and are more 'outward looking' now. Looks like the kooky cult religion of Globalism has suckered some more followers into the fold.

Big deal. Can someone tell be when Sweden wasn't a secular socialist basket case? You would have to back at least 40 years.
