Also known as St Lucia, she is mainly celebrated in Scandinavia where her day becomes a festival of light. This year, LSI Zurich celebrates St Lucia with a special evening of &#8216;light&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the theme of light, there was an exhibition room where students showed their art &amp; craftwork. Examples of our students creativity included candle holders made by Hans and a photographic slide show produced by Rafael. In the room next door, LSI Zurich&#8217;s German students gave performances for all the language students.\u00a0 Some enacted\u00a0 a\u00a0D\u00fcrrenmatt poem\u00a0whilst others presented\u00a0a\u00a0sketch based on an old Grimm\u2019s fairy tale. Later in the evening staff and students listened to Christmas stories\u00a0and pulled crackers. There was even a\u00a0 blazing fire and soul-warming Christmas food. A hint of Xmas magic was definitely in the air.<\/p>\n<p>However the\u00a0\u00a0highlight of the evening was perhaps the performing dog that brought the Brechtian-style fairy tale to life\u00a0&#8211; it almost stole the show. It\u00a0 reminds us that our students are not just language learners. We discovered a lot about their hobbies and interests during the run up to the show!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2579\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Exhibition.jpg\" alt=\"LSI Zurich celebrates St Lucia with an arits and craft exhibition\" width=\"450\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Exhibition.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Exhibition-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 13 is Saint Lucy\u2019s Day.
