Our Scandinavian St. Lucia celebration in Antiquity Finlanda went well, despite a weird SL glitch that affected seating in the pews! Live singer Inchino Melson made a lovely Lucia Maiden, visually and vocally, as you can see in the following You Tube video created and posted by videographer Dianne Melson:
We were especially happy that Jacon's RL mother was able to attend (the elegant lady in magenta.) We were also appreciative of a gift received from Sere Timeless - a new, much more realistic fir candle wreath for Lucia's head, to replace our old textured prim circle!
Finlanda Chapel is designed very much in the manner of medieval churches scattered across northern Europe, and its decor matches the tastes and traditions of the 18th and 19th centuries (note the ship suspended over the aisle - very much a tradition of Baltic sailing communities, sailors needing all the heavenly protection they could get!) Unfortunately, it's a bit primmy by current standards, and Pamus Bing, Finlanda's manager, is in the process of creating a new one that will still be traditional but not the same tradition. If you want to see the current one before it's gone, do drop by Finlanda during Christmas week.
