On Saturday, December 21, the carol singers of the Lucerne Minstrels parade through Lucerne's old town with their lights and songs. This custom, which was resumed by the Lucerne Minstrels in 1938 and has been lovingly cultivated ever since, takes place on the fourth weekend of Advent and thus contributes to a contemplative end to Advent activities in Lucerne.
The group of around 120 people is led by Advent wreath bearers with the choir, followed by the star, the three kings with their entourage and the Holy Family accompanied by shepherds and sheep. A simple scenic Christmas play is performed on three squares in the Old Town - Kapellplatz, Kornmarkt and Jesuitenplatz. The specially assembled choir under the direction of Niklaus Iten accompanies this with the interpretation of traditional Christmas carols. Most of the singers also sing actively in other choirs in the region.
