 vian and Nordic Student Association (SNSA) to celebrate Lucia on December 7
 th!</h3><p>This is a free event\, and we welcome everyone to join us.</p><p
 >Lucia is traditionally celebrated on the 13th of December\, which\, for No
 rthern Europeans\, is when there is very little sun and it is cold and dark
 . There are Lucia "trains" in schools\, churches\, retirement homes and man
 y other places\, often with children or professional choirs singing. The ch
 oir typically enters the room when it is pitch black\, and the only light y
 ou can see is from the flames of the Lucia "train." The ethereal singing of
  the choir fills the room as they walk in with their gowns and candles and 
 perform a variety of winter themed songs.</p><p>Every year the SNSA rehears
 es with the <a href="https://cenes.ubc.ca/undergraduate/scandinavian-studie
 s/">Scandinavian Studies Program</a>'s <a href="https://cenes.ubc.ca/underg
 raduate/scandinavian-studies/swedish-language-program/">Swedish</a> and <a 
 href="https://cenes.ubc.ca/undergraduate/scandinavian-studies/danish-langua
 ge-program">Danish</a> language students to bring you UBC's own Lucia train
 . This year we are hosting our event in the Norm Theatre in the UBC Life Bu
 ilding.</p><p>The <strong>doors will open at 4:30 pm for fika</strong> (bak
 ed goods and coffee\, first come first served)\, and our <strong>choir will
  begin singing at 5:00 pm. </strong></p><p>We will have a box for non-peris
 hable donations at the front door. It is not mandatory to donate\, but woul
 d be appreciated. Everything will go to the AMS Food Bank to help tackle th
 e rising crisis of food insecurity on campus.</p>
