​

The Luminaria Ceremony is an opportunity for us to come together and remember why we participate in Relay For Life of Wissahickon Valley. It is a time for us to grieve and honor those we’ve lost, and support those who have fought and are fighting, and to hopefully find some closure. It’s a time for us to reflect on how the disease has touched us personally and it’s a time for us to look inside ourselves with quiet reflection to find hope. No matter what our experience with cancer has been, we all share the hope that we will one day live in a world where no one will ever know the suffering of cancer or endure the staggering feelings of sadness and loss that cancer brings.

Although we can not be together in person this year, we honor our luminaria tradition with virtual luminarias. We have created a video of our Empty Table presentation that usually starts the beginning of our luminaria ceremony.

To view the Empty Table video, luminarias that are In Memory Of, In Honor Of, and In Support Of, please visit their respective tabs under the Luminaria section.
