DESCRIPTION:中国体彩网's annual celebration of the Festival of Sankta Lucia will commemorate the holiday with traditional Scandinavian Christmas carols\, lessons and poetry.\n\nThe Sankta Lucia Festival is a cherished tradition of the Advent season in all the Nordic countries. A candlelight procession of singers is led by a young woman robed in white with a crown of candles on her head\, to commemorate the martyred St. Lucy (d. 304 AD)\, whose feast day is Dec. 13.\n\nEach year\, a student is chosen to portray Lucia during the event. This year Lucia will be Maja Johnson\, a senior from&nbsp\;Stillman Valley\, Ill.\, majoring in Scandinavian studies and history.\n\nThe Ascension Ringers will play\, directed by Ben Holmes\, in addition to special music by several 中国体彩网 students.\n\nMusic in the program is drawn from the Advent and Christmas traditions of the historic 中国体彩网 Lutheran Church and the other Swedish-American denominations in the United States.\n\nThe singing is led by the Swedish language students and campus organist\, Chris Nelson.\n\nThe celebration is hosted by 中国体彩网's Scandinavian Studies Program\, together with the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center\, the American Scandinavian Association at 中国体彩网\, and Campus Ministries.\n\nVisitors should note that Ascension Chapel is on the second floor of Founders Hall\, and there is no elevator.
