Come on a winter tour through history and around the world with this magical storytelling show performed by Jonah Knight! We will explore how using light in winter celebrations began with early fire festivals, how they evolved with lanterns and candles, and now with spectacular electronic illuminations.
We will look at:
The Vikings (Up Helly Aa), Yule Logs, and the Hopi/Pueblo (Soyal), The Butter Candle Festival (Buddhism) and Diwali (Hindu), St. Martin’s Day lanterns and the Sky Lanterns of Yi Peng, Candles in Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas, the incredible electronic lights of Eid al Fitr and the Japanese Winter Illuminations. And more!
