Lucia - a Swedish tradition

The Carolinae Ladies Choir in Lund give a preview of a candlelit Lucia procession, the Swedish Christmas tradition that takes place on December 13th.

Splendid! I was shocked waking up in Lucia day and seing Swedish girls walking streets singing, in their nighties, with candles on their heads... Beauctiful!

BRAVO!

[@scvandy3129]

The chorus' talents and hours devoted to rehearsal plus the young women's clear enunciation contribute to a viewing experience that warrants a "Bravo."' The conductor displays a graceful, confident manner while leading the ladies / guiding their angelic voices. Finally, the Swedes have clearly studied hard, based on vocalizing their "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year" wish /greeting -- in that there's not even a whiff of an accent that betrays their Swedish roots. They could hail from USA states, e.g., Michigan or Arizona -- no detection of Scandinavian roots is "given away." How unfortunate most local St. Lucia day festivals have been cancelled, due to COVID-19. Quite understandable, but still sad, as there's plenty of uplifting, holiday spirit to go around and throngs of anxious viewers. Happy Lucia (2020).

How is Lucia chosen? It must be an honor so is it random, merit, best singer, looks the part, ect?

Usually depends. In schools its usually a vote or the music teacher decides based on voice. Bigger performances it can be quite similar to a miss universe competition.
