Santa Lucia and Christmas Program
Celebrating Christmas at Salem
Santa Lucia
Hello Sunday School Families,
Salem Lutheran Church has a 65 year annual tradition of hosting the Santa Lucia, "Festival of Lights" celebration. This years celebration is Saturday, December 12th at 7am (yes am!).
This beautiful Christmas tradition of celebrates the darkest days of winter and being a Christian light in the darkness of the world. Part of our celebration includes the Tomten's and Star Boys as part of Lucia's Court. The Tomtems (2) are girls K-1st grade and the Star Boys (2) are boys in K-2nd grade. If you think your child is willing and able to sit in the front of the church for one hour during services please send me a note with your childs(ren) full name and grade.
Practice for Santa Lucia is set for Friday, December 11th at 7pm and we ask that participants arrive at Salem Saturday, December 12that 615-630am for the Santa Lucia Festival. After services Saturday is a light breakfast and pictures of the entire court.
