Lussekatter, or St. Lucy's Cats, are a sweet saffron bread from Sweden. Saffransbullar they are called, when not formed into the tight figure 8, reminiscent of a kittycat tail, I suppose. The legend is a little distorted; originally they were called Devil's Cats because it was told that the Devil would arrive in the form of a cat to punish bad children, while a Christ-like child would show up with treats for the good kids. St. Lucy (or Lucia in Italy) came to represent the good and the light (as opposed to the dark and the evil of Satan) and saffron was used to keep the Devil at bay because of its brilliant yellow color that is bright like the sun - and the Devil hates sunlight, right? Over hundreds of years, Lussekatter came to replace the name Dövelskatter (Devil's cats) though in some parts of Sweden the old name is still used for these buns.
