Essential Question: How can we find inspiration from the winter holidays of light? Expected Outcome(s): Students will be able to articulate how many cultural traditions use light to defeat the “darkness” of winter

She has been present as practitioners of the faiths and cultures of each of these holidays lit candles during their rituals in person, and is glad to bring the light of celebration to you in the dark of this season.
