Hi %FIRSTNAME%,

Yearning for Light

Since ancient times people have yearned for and celebrated light. I recently visited the neolithic monument of Newgrange in Ireland which predates Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. It and many other passage tombs were most likely built for ceremonies & burials around 3100 BC. On the morning of the winter solstice light shines through a box above the entrance to Newgrange casting a beam of light through the interior for 19 minutes. We can only speculate on why these prehistoric people went to remarkable lengths to build this structure and add this feature. But what we do know is that since the beginning of existence people have yearned for and celebrated light. We strive to conquer evil or darkness with joy or light. During Holiday rituals light is a prevailing theme symbolized by candles, fires, decorative lights and fireworks. So, whether you celebrate Ramadan, Diwali, Hanukah, Yule, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa or many other celebrations of light, please remember that light prevails over darkness and use your light to spread joy!
