Nice Blog, I was looking for 'The Prince of Peace' apparently a painting by Bertha Valerius. It is a painting of Jesus, which apparently they have it in a chapel in Stockholm. So, it called my attention your blog with the Swedish Lucia Brides pictures, because in Spanish you say 'pasar la noche en vela', vela means candle, it means you were not able to sleep. I am suffering from insomnia from several years ago already ... and one of the herbs they use to make herbal sleeping tablets is Valeriana (one of them)... So, the connection between the painting of Jesus and your blog it seems to be that they use Valeriana to fight insomnia. It is nice to see my sister's name Lucia, she is Olga Lucia. Well, maybe I will get back to my searching .... I also have a blog but the vandals destroyed it, it is http://catalejogomez.blogspot.com.

I am also promoting a video about a survivor from the holocaust, it is at http://www.youtube.com/user/catalejogomez?feature=mhee

and I am also at facebook at https://www.facebook.com/marthapatricia

Again, I am very pleased I found your blog. Have a nice weekend,
