Holiday Lights: Family Traditions

This is the time of year for traditions. Spending time with loved ones. Candlelight ceremonies at church.

We visited the LaSallette Shrine in Attleboro, MA for the festival of lights. Eight-year-old Itsy Bit was eagerly anticipating the visit to the Nativity Manger and a visit to Clopper the Donkey in his warm stable stall. Folks come from miles around.

Many light a candle and say a prayer for someone in need.

And proclaim "Peace on Earth" and "Goodwill Towards Mankind".
