The tradition of Lucia, the bearer of light, is a Catholic tradition
dating back to the martyr Santa Lucia of Syracuse. Up North, the
tradition has a Swedish twist to it. It was whipped into the tsuhnas
during the Swedish rule over Finland.
Daniela Owusu, who was chosen as this year's Lucia, has received huge
numbers of hate messages, shocking the organizer of the traditional
festival, Folkhälsan.
The tradition of Lucia, the bearer of light, is a Catholic tradition
dating back to the martyr Santa Lucia of Syracuse. Up North, the
tradition has a Swedish twist to it. It was whipped into the tsuhnas
during the Swedish rule over Finland.
There have been an exceptionally large number of messages on
Folkhälsan's website and social media channels compared to previous years.
"I am very sad that the celebration of light and humanity is being overshadowed", HR and Development Manager Stina Heikkilä from Folkhälsan tells HS on Sunday.
Heikkilä is responsible at Folkhälsan for the events of the Lucia
festival throughout Christmas and January.
For Finnish speakers, Daniela Owusu has been the target of such a huge
racist attack, according to Heikkilä, that Folkhälsan has decided to protect her from excessive publicity for the time being.
Have there been dozens or hundreds of racist messages?
“We could talk about thousands”.
What is their content?
“They are aimed at Daniela. She has the wrong skin color. N-words, W-
words are repeated.
They remind us where Daniela is from. You are making
us Muslims, they say”, Heikkilä says.
According to Heikkilä, racist messages came as soon as Owusu was crowned
in Helsinki Cathedral last Friday. It was reportedly quieter for a
while, but when Owusu gained visibility in the media due to her
position, she became a target again.
“This weekend, publicity has again awakened racists and neo-Nazis”.

Everything related to that Lucia shit is always
something to hate and despise. So stupid!
I do not care what colour the Lucias are, they
are idiots, plain and simple. Fuck off, all
Christians! Hahah!

Tsuhnas? If you hate Finland & Finns so much then get the fuck out of
here. You're not making very compelling argument for immigration while
being an immigrant and racist against the local population.

W-words?
Using "N-word" aka "Neekeri" in Finnish language is NOT a racist term,
it translates as "negro"
They remind us where Daniela is from. You are making us Muslims, they
say”, Heikkilä says.
This is actually a fair argument.
She was probably chosen because she is
black.
Another form of woke.
Lucia Maiden has always been white,
and just about always with blond
hair. That's the image which comes to mind when you think about Lucia
maiden.

Oh, neo-nazis too. Were they wearing swastikas at the forum...
I doubt very much this person's analysis on the messages.
I have zero
doubt that "negro" word was used a lot. The rest, sounds like BS.
My own comment when seeing it on TV...
"Bloody hell....
Well, at least she's a woman."
Anyway she's pretty, and rather fair skinned actually. But it seems deliberately shoving woke down one's throat - and demeaning cultural traditions. Again.

An exceptionally low-IQ post.
Ms Owusu as Lucia is embraced!
