Wonderful singing by the young girls , absolutely beautiful . A joy to hear .
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.
The hymn is also known as: On This Day Earth Shall Ring.
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.
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!
Scandinavian Christmases are my favorite!
Yeah i must admit. they hit hte nail on the head. the aker church performance was in one word, amazing. i hope to see it in person one day
This makes me appreciate Christmas at home so much more. Thank you for making me rediscover the awesomeness of the Norwegian Christmas!
I am norwgian, and this is so entertaining! Specialy when you says "jule nisse"!
He says "julenisse", not "jule nisse".
If a word sounds compound when you pronouncing the word, it should be written together.
If there are abbreviations, proper names or numbers in the word, hyphens should be used.
This was a short lesson in Norwegian!
Gosh - Rick is American born... give the guy a break. I am Norwegian too - and find this simply lovely....
i guess I am pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new movies online?
@Justice Korbyn try flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Christopher Vincenzo yea, I've been watching on flixzone for months myself :)
Beautiful country and a beautiful way to celebrate Christmas!

LOVE IT!!! EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT THERE COMPARED TO THE U.S.
I agree! I'm from Sweden, similar to Norway in many ways, and, I have a feeling, also to Canada!
Look at all those blondies :) I actually miss St. Lucia celebrations.
Happy holidays!
Beautiful. Someday I will go to Norway in the Christmas. If God wants!!! ;D
You have to wonder, who are the dark souls who gave this video a "thumbs down"? Happy Santa Lucia Day, 2018!
Sad liberal social justice warriors.
And 2020! Love this!
i love Norway....!!!!
Mycket bra föreställning :)
growing up, our mom used to bake a special Greek bread with a quarter hidden in it every Christmas. Person who found it was supposed to have good luck in the New Year. But unfortunately in our ultra competive family, it usually meant fist fights, broken furniture and the freshly baked bread rendered into bread crumbs, that our mom threw outside for the birds to eat. LOL!!! GOOD TIMES
Yes, would please tell me the name of the song the Girl's Choir was
singing at the end of the clip. It was abosolutely amazing. They had voices
as Angels would sing. Completely breathtaking and phenominal... Also may
I add that every clip I see In relation to Norway there is always a sense
of great national pride, and for a lack of better word they seem very folkish
or very much steeped in their tradition. I'm blown away. I hope to visit
this beautifal country someday...
It's called Personent Hodie. I agree, it's absolutely beautiful (and one of my favorite Christmas carols!)
OK, NOW I know what they were singing during that performance in Oslo. That by the way is my FAV performance of Rick Steves' European Xmas.
Can I know the name of the song which they sung in the ending?
Too bad you can't see any snow in this video :( Drøbak is so far south and near the coast that snow doesn't arrive before january-february. Snow is really important in Norway, especially around Christmas.

That is interesting. Thanks for the information.
Beautiful
Yeah, you’re halfway there!
(oh, oh, living on a prayer)
So clean!!
I'm watching this on Santa Lucia day!
My Grandpa Torger was from Oslo.. I need to go ASAP !!!
Torgeir*
Im going to Norway because of this
I'd kill to spend December in Scandinavia one year.
Please Rick, what is the name of the beautiful piece the young maidens sing towards the end of this segment... it is haunting and I would love to get an arrangement of it! Please if anyone knows, share!
Personent Hodie
Personent Hodie :)
I felt the SAME way - loved that gorgeous sound and researched the piece to get and add to my Christmas collection.
M McAdoo This episode is where I first encountered that beautiful medieval carol, and I've been captivated ever since. It sounds best when it's sung in Latin. The English version somehow is lacking.
I agree. I've searched high and low but cannot find an arrangement quite as hauntingly beautiful as this one.
God jul 🎅🏻🎄
Beautiful video.
I love it!!!!!
Person: We are in *tries to pronounce place'
Me (A Norwegian): Come again?
Video: *shows overview and letters saying Drobak
Me: OH, Drøbak.... wow that was a horrible pronounciation XD
since when was fjøs nisser Santa, they are not the same thing they might share the name of nisse but they are not the same
This is all advent - our Jul starts at 17:00 Christmas eve (24th of Dec.). Though it was all nicly presenter.
Too bad that you came there in a time with no snow... We won´t get the Christmas spirit without
Whats the name of the last song sung in Aker Church? Hva heter den siste sangen sunget i Akerkirken???
Personent Hodie!
God Jul
Almost the same traditions as Sweden
@pman1018 Hi can you tell me the name of the song they are singing please the ladies in oslo thanks from malta
Personent Hodie!
😍😍👍👍
Like Disney Animated Movie in 2013 film?
Take me away to Norway!
Lol, they are so young
Can anyone identify the song that the girls Choir sings in the church?
Personent Hodie :)

I prefer a big fat joint for christmas rather than beer ....
I am norwegian, and not every one goes ti churge in christmas.
Julia Vins Fan hold kjeft du kan ikke ordentlig engelsk
Even hold kjeft du er en dust
Julia Vins Fan even people go to church , that is most for tradition.
You are smarter than sweden. And keep be smart!
Loving those blondes. Lots of love to Norway
The real root! God jule!
I know no families that hang up mistletoe. If someone does, it's probably something they learned from watching American sitcoms... and the Christmas tree is not a pagan remnant, silly, it's a fairly new tradition (from Germany in the 1850, like most of our Christmas tradition).
But the hidden almond is real.
The hidden Almond is Heathen, not pagan, pagan is a Latin word...
I wouldn't say it's that common to gather in church, it used to be, but not today.
It is still. For decent people
@@perperson199 decent people dont look down on others. judge not for ye shall be judged eller
Norwegians singing Santa Lucia (?)
it's not just swedish.. they do it in Finland and Denmark as well i guess.
Santa Lucia is part of all Scandinavian Countries's tradition :)
St. Lucia = light. It was a way to mask the celebration of the winter solstice and the coming of more light and life in spring and summer.
👎👎👎👎👎👎
JESUS BASTRED = GOLDAN CLAF SON OF PANDIRA ROMAN SOLDIER
No People of Color? How sad.
It's not sad. We have many from Asia, Africa, India but we do not have African Americans - it's just normal
Aren't they all atheists? I'm surprised to see packed churches in Norway
