PublicOverview
The St. Lucia festival is rooted in the Swedish culture and the Christian faith, occurring annually on the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Campus since 1941.
The Saint Lucia Festival includes a retelling of the Lucia legend, an introduction of the Lucia court wearing traditional St. Lucia costumes, and children of employees who serve as star children or tompten. Following the short service will be a "fika" of coffee and treats, and Lucia-inspired activities such as weaving paper heart baskets and writing notes to those who are a light in your world.
Six sophomore women are chosen to be a part of the Court of St. Lucia. The women are chosen by their peers honoring the qualities of the legendary Lucia. The selection of the court and Lucia includes nominations and selection by the campus for a sophomore woman who exemplifies the qualities of courageous leadership, service to others, strength of character, and compassion and therefore is a light to others.
