Luminaria Night – December 8, 2012
Be the light in your neighbor’s darkest hour
LUMINARIA NIGHT 2012
Bethlehem, PA October 3, 2012 - New Bethany Ministries would like to announce the upcoming Luminaria Night on Saturday, December 8th from sundown thru the evening hours.
About Luminaria Night
Luminaria Night is a beautiful and enchanted evening when neighborhoods line their streets with luminaria – white bags illuminated by votive candles. The luminaria are a symbol of unity and caring for those less fortunate. Luminaria Night started in 1998 in a small neighborhood to benefit one family in need. Today, Luminaria Night has grown into a valley-wide event connecting neighborhoods together in a beautiful evening of light and giving. All of proceeds from the sale of Luminaria kits, go to New Bethany Ministries, benefiting thousands of individuals and families in need.
