Gamla stan

Vi reser tillbaka till medeltiden och lär känna om och hur man firade jul i staden. Hör om julens eget helgon, Sankt Nicolaus, den första jultomten, och om Lucia. Hör om smörtoppen som man fick smaka av på julen och om en pepparkaka med peppar. Och lyssna på den läskiga historien om de dödas julotta. Allt under svartbrödernas valv från 1300-talet.
