Lucia i firas vid vår ambassad

After last year's huge success, Lucia visits Second Life again in 2008!

Every year on December 13, Santa Lucia arrives in Sweden to announce the Christmas season.
This year, she will once again visit Second Life as well
- and the festivities start - PLEASE NOTE THE DATE!!
-->>> Friday evening, December 12 <<<---
The Lucia celebration features a procession led by a woman representing Saint Lucia, who — dressed in white robes, with a headdress of candles — repels the darkness with a halo of light.
The procession is accompanied by the singing of traditional Swedish songs.

The Lucia event in Second Life gives participants an opportunity to meet a real Swedish Lucia, listen to her entourage of singers, see a Christmas tree, visit Santa, visit a HUGE Christmas market (18 Swedish designers at one place!), receive Swedish freebie gifts, and dance to Swedish and international music, including live performances.

By tradition, the identity of this year's Lucia is a well-protected secret until the December 12.

When: The procession will be held twice: First, on December 12, 1pm Second Life time (4pm New York time, 10pm Stockholm time); the procession is then repeated four hours later at 5pm SLT (8pm in NYC, 2am in Stockholm on 13 December)

Organizers of this year's Lucia event in Second Life are Ika Cioc, Ewa Aska, Charlotte Rhino, Belze Fraker, Cur Waydelich and producer Tina (PetGirl) Bergman.
