WHAT IS LUMINARIA?

Luminaria is one of the events which is an integral part of the Relay for Life, bringing together individuals touched by cancer in an event centred around the Light(s) of Luminaria.

When a Luminaria Light is lit, we honour someone’s whose life is touched by cancer.  

We gather

We grieve

We hope

We celebrate

The Light of Luminaria is our guiding light, the reason for us to keep fighting

Around the world, the Luminaria event is an inseparable part  of the Relay for Life, bringing together everyone to  light these individually created small paper bags called Luminaria Bags, illuminated from within.

Each Luminaria represents a life, shining in remembrance, hope or triumph – uniting everyone who has been touched by cancer

In the night of Luminaria , we remember how much we have lost and how much we stand to gain and how much we continue to be guided by the Luminaria Light in our journeys and the fight for cancer.

The Luminaria light shines for everyone , showing the way forward and uniting us in the goal for a world without cancer.
