FEAST OF SAINT LUCY
Liturgy of Light at 17:30 with Audite Nova Choir of Zug
Take a break from the stress of the season and create a space to receive God's peace. Join us to enjoy stillness, light, and inspiring song at our liturgy in honor of St. Lucy. (in German).
In the dark of winter, the feast of St. Lucy is a reminder of the light of Christ that is about to come.
According to tradition associated with her name, Lucy is said to have brought food to the catacombs of Syracuse at night, where Christians gathered in secret. To light her way through the catacombs while keeping her hands free to carry the food, she placed a wreath of candles on her head. Fittingly, the name Lucy is derived from the Latin word lux, meaning “light”. Lucy can be interpreted as “bringer of light”.
We warmly welcome you to a liturgy where stillness and uplifting music go hand-in-hand; create a space for God to speak to you this season. The distinguished choir, Audite Nova Choir of Zug will accompany us in song.
These lights are more than just illumination. The light of Advent is a symbol of the hope that God is present in our lives, even in difficult times. Every candle we light dispels a little of the darkness and reminds us that the true Light came into the world through Jesus.
In this special celebration, let us be willing to bring light into the shadows, to reflect in silence on the roots of our faith, to share hope through song, and to approach the coming feast of Christmas with trust and confidence.
