Hexham Abbey will once again be bathed in candlelight for Sankta Lucia - a breathtaking traditional Scandinavian event celebrating light in the darkest month of the year.

The Edinburgh Lucia Choir will perform traditional Scandinavian inspired seasonal songs followed by the stunning traditional Sankta Lucia performance. This magical event sees Lucia processing around the darkened Abbey wearing a crown of candles. She is followed by the rest of the choir dressed in white gowns, carrying candles, singing traditional Swedish songs.

Sankta Lucia is a well-established event in the Swedish calendar leading up to Christmas. It originates from both pagan and Christian traditions of bringing people together for music, nourishment, and celebration of light. It's a delightful, relaxing event to enjoy in the lead up to Christmas.
