- **Event Description**: Come celebrate Lucia Fest with New Sweden! 

Lucia Fest, also known as St. Lucia's Day, is a traditional Swedish festival celebrated on December 13th. It honors the Christian martyr Saint Lucy and symbolizes the return of light during the winter solstice. The festival features processions led by a "Lucia" (usually a young woman) dressed in white and crowned with candles, singing traditional songs. The procession is often accompanied by other girls and boys dressed in white, carrying candles and singing. 

You are invited to enjoy a beautiful traditional pageant and music of the season by:
* The children of the Swedish School of Portland
* Oregon’s 2025 Lucia Court
* Portland Scandinavian Chorus 
* Vocal Soloists
* Vasa Youth Group Dancers
 
Following the program there will be the customary singing and dancing around the Christmas tree, a visit by Tomten, glögg, coffee and traditional baked goods.

Because of the church size this year we will have a limited amount of tickets available. To ensure you get a chance to attend this once a year spectacular event make sure to purchase your tickets early.
