FINLAND: Saint Lucy's Day Celebration

December 13th is St. Lucy's Day in Finland. The celebration of this day is a part of a Finland-Swedish Christmas tradition. It includes a ceremony in which a girl is elected to portray St. Lucy, Lucia in Finnish. Lucia is wearing a white dress, a red belt and she has a crown of candles on her head. She walks at the head of of a procession of girls or women who also wear a white dress and a red belt, and each is holding a candle. They sing a Lucia song when they enter the room. After this song they sing Christmas carols and more songs about Lucia.

St Lucy's Day is also considered to be a celebration of light in the darkest time of the year.
Some schools have their own Lucia processions but in our school the Lucia procession traditionally comes from another school, from a Finland-Swedish school Norra Paipis skola.

FINLAND: A Concert of an Estonian Girls' Choir

On December 11th an Estonian Girls' Choir, " Virumaa Tütarlastekoor " came for a short visit in Järvenpää. We had the honour to have the choir for a concert in our school.

There are 48 singers from the age of 10 to 17 in the choir. They come from nine different schools in the province of Länsi-Viromaa. 39 singers took part in this visit. The choir has two conductors, Kaie Aja and Ly Ipsberg and the pianist Darja Roditsenko. The choir practises twice a month in the province capital Rakvere.

The concert was fantastic! The choir sang in Estonian, Finnish and English. They both sang beautifully and looked beautiful in their national costume-like dresses.
