Santa Lucia Feast, 1937

A man in evening dress surrounded by young women in white dresses, one of which wears a crown of candles, reads form a paper in front of a microphone.

Szent-Gyorgyi stands with the queen of the Santa Lucia feast, possibly announcing her winning the contest. Caption reads: “Most beautiful girl & most glamorous man. Crowning of Santa Lucia feast in Stockholm. Beauty queen elected. Stockholm 1937. Nobel Prize.” St. Lucia’s day, December 13th, starts the Christmas season in Sweden, just after Nobel Prize day, December 10th.
