This part is my favorite moment in Rick Steve's European Christmas Special. There is nothing more beautiful than these young, talented girls! The hymn "Long Ago Prophets Knew" with the harp accompaniment and candle-lit atmosphere is divine. The perfect presentation of the coming of Christmas! Thank you, Rick.

I love Santa Luzia! She protects my eyes to see so many beautiful things nature gives me. Thank you Santa Luzia and always bless my eyes, Santa Luzia! Amen!

For anyone wondering, the song the Norwegian Girls Choir is singing is called “Personent Hodie” arr. by John Rutter. Absolutely beautiful arrangement and performance.

I stayed in Drøbak in 2009 to visit my cousin Randi who lives there, so I am quite familiar with this town... Oddly enough, I met Rick Steeves on Christmas Eve at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lynnwood, WA as he was doing the reading. We had a nice discussion about filming this episode :-)

Beautiful country. Beautiful people. Love the kransekake. And the marzipan pigs. The fjords are something you need to see in person. I think it's time to go back and visit.
