Cantor, Tarja Alakörkkö-Perkkiö
What is your favourite Christmas carol?
I remember from my childhood how the Greatest Christmas carols were sung in my home village. lt was a festive atmosphere. Our district pastor Reijo and Mauri cantor arrived at my home school, the air smelled of gingerbread and the singing rang. Since then, the words of several Christmas carols that are still popular have been memorized in my mind.
Singing together promotes well-being. According to research, singing together relieves the symptoms of memory loss, treats mental health, lowers blood pressure. ln addition, it is a community experience when we gather to sing together.
The national "Greatest Christmas Carols" campaign has already been organized more than 50 times. At events, you can give the children of the world a gift that matters. Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission (Felm) offers education, health care and security to the most disadvantaged children in developing countries. ln particular, the status of girls, children with disabilities, and children belonging to discriminated minorities is improved with donation funds.
The Greatest Christmas carols fill our country's churches, village halls, shopping centers and even swimming pools this year as well. ln Rovaniemi, Christmas carols are sung in more than 50 events around our parish. Come and sing along and do good for both yourself and the children of the world!
