In this event, a double spiral of evergreen boughs is arranged in a darkened room, with a single candle in the center. One by one, the students walk the spiral into the center while soft piano music plays. They each light the candle they carry and place it somewhere on the spiral as they walk back out. Gradually the room fills with the light of the candles burning together until there is a strong, warm glow. At first, the ceremony is allowed to resonate in the children as a simple experience of the transformation. As they get older, we talk with the children about how each of us carries a light inside of ourselves, and that when we share our light with others we can bring brightness and warmth to times of darkness.
