CHRISTMAS EVE LUMINARIES

On Christmas eve morning, a lot of us gathered to prepare 4000 luminaries to light the way for the Christ Child and Mary and Joseph to find lodging, a Southwest tradition. We folded the bags, put in the sand, loaded them on trucks and distributed them around the park. Two women went on each truck to add the candles as the men placed them along the streets.

When Santa came, we served doughnuts and coffee to the workers.

This is how our corner looked.

Very impressive!
