Peaceful Christmas

One part of Christmas in Finland is the Christmas Peace, a declaration read annually in the city of Turku, Finland's oldest city and previous capital. The format is a hymn (The Finnish version of Luther's Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott), the declaration (which is some 300 years old), national anthem, and honorary march of the Finnish Defence Forces.



Oh, and Santa Claus headed out too.
