Ingrid Enckell from Helsinki will be crowned as Finland’s Lucia at Helsinki s Lutheran Cathedral on Sunday.
Due to the coronavirus situation, guests will not be allowed inside the church to watch the ceremony. The event can, however, be streamed on Yle Areena starting at 5pm.
Enckell will emerge from the cathedral briefly after being crowned. This year organisers cancelled the procession that Lucia and her entourage usually lead through the city as the spectacle regularly attracts tens of thousands of people.
