In Scandinavian countries Sankta Lucia is celebrated today. Because of corona the processions will not be organized, but people are encouraged to watch part of the celebration on TV. A local girl will be selected as Lucia. She will wear a white gown and a crown of candles placed on a green leaf wreath on her head. Her waist will be decorated with a bright red sash. Lucia will be accompanied by similarly dressed maids, who all sing the Neapolitan song Santa Lucia.
