Is Lucia Day known outside Scandinavia?

Today is Lucia Day.
Originally it is a Swedish tradition to celebrate Sancta Lucia with girls dressed in white and carrying candles walking in procession and singing.
The tradition has spread from Sweden to the other Scandinavian countries but I wonder if it is known in other countries?

I'm surprised they can continue to celebrate it in such a self defeating cultural climate. It looks like a beautiful tradition; all proper Swedish girls in a procession of white.

The pictures are showing Lucia processions in Denmark and the beautiful girls naturally are Danish.
