What is Luminas?

Luminas (pronounced LOO-MIN-AHS) is a celebration of light and love and the warmth they both bring to our world in their many forms. This is represented by the symbol of Luminas, the candle which dispels darkness and gives light to the world around us. The celebration itself is for seven days, from December 21^st to the 27^th, although some many find themselves decorating and extending the holiday beyond this limit. Luminas is in its infancy, and new traditions and interpretations will undoubtedly be added. At its core, however, it should remain a festival of fellowship between all humans, recognizing the common qualities of love, family, charity and compassion that represent the best there is in the human heart.
