Festival of Sankta Lucia (Luciafest)
Augustana's annual celebration of the Festival of Sankta Lucia will commemorate the holiday with traditional Scandinavian Christmas carols, lessons and poetry.
The Sankta Lucia Festival is a cherished tradition of the Advent season in all the Nordic countries. A candlelight procession of singers is led by a young woman robed in white with a crown of candles on her head, to commemorate the martyred St. Lucy (d. 304 AD), whose feast day is Dec. 13.
Visitors should note that Ascension Chapel is on the second floor of the Bahls Center, and there is currently no elevator or chairlift.
Celebration for Dan Lee
The Department of Religion and Phi Rho Sorority will celebrate Dr. Dan Lee's 50 years of teaching at Augustana College.
Dr. Lee is an integral part of the campus community, not only because his courses fulfill the college's general education Religion course requirement, but also because he has served as the advisor to the Phi Rho sorority for over a decade, taught courses in Rome and Montana, written articles for local and national newspapers, established the Augustana Center for the Study of Ethics, and much more.
At noon during Augustana's Homecoming 2023 Quad Fest, Dr. Lee will be recognized for his remarkable contribution to the Augie community.
Attendees will receive a special treat and can sign a book of appreciation.
Those unable to attend Homecoming in person are invited to send a note to the alumni relations office.
