Emma, Clark and I made luminaria bags for Relay for Life at California High in San Ramon (where I graduated from so long ago). These bags were given to me by someone who I was in Brownies and Girl Scouts with (yes hard to believe it I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout-the brown and the green uniforms were so styling back then).
Teri-thank you. We loved doing this and cannot wait to give them to you.
Here is what the luminaria bags means to the Relay for Life according to their website.
The Light of Hope
For many people who attend Relay For Life®, one of the most moving parts of the event is the Ceremony of Hope. As the light dims over campsites and team members complete laps, the night is brightened by the glow of lighted bags called luminaria, each of which has a special meaning. Some luminaria celebrate the survivorship of people who have battled cancer and lived to tell the tale. Many commemorate the lives of those who have been lost to this disease. All represent a person who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to be touched by that experience.
