Staffan stalledräng is a figure from Nordic folklore tied to Christmas traditions, most notably in Sweden, where the name is associated with the Christmas carol Staffan var en stalledräng. The legend evolves from a biblical Stefanos (Saint Stephen) and has accrued local folk elements over centuries, including motifs involving horses and stars that accompany the Christmas narrative. In Sweden, the character is best known through the lucia tradition and the traditional song in which Staffan stalls are watered for five horses as the star appears, linking him to the birth of Jesus and to the lights of the season.
