Sylvias hälsning från Sicilien

Sylvias hälsning från Sicilien (Swedish, Sylvia's Greeting from Sicily) is a poem by Zachris Topelius from 1853, which was composed to a christmas carol by Karl Collan. The poem has been translated to Finnish by both Elina Vaara and Martti Korpilahti, and the latter one from 1918 is one of the most beloved Finnish Christmas carols. It has been chosen as the best Finnish Christmas carol in the 1960s and again in 2002 in a poll by Yleisradio. The poem is also a part of the collection of Finnish poems called Sylvian laulut.
