Candles In The Dark
Author: Rick Dandes Source: The Daily Item (PA)
Title: CANDLES IN THE DARK
While Jewish people in the Valley will be spending tonight celebrating the first day of Hanukkah, groups of the nature-based Pagan and Wiccan religions will also be gathering together to mark the Winter Solstice, the longest, darkest night of the year.
The rituals performed by Pagans and Wiccans tonight call forth the sun on the longest night of the year.
"We also refer to the solstice as Yule, the rebirth of the sun to the earth," said Giles Wickham Jr., a practicing Pagan, who said he used to be a Wiccan.
"To me, Paganism is a religion and a lifestyle," he said. "And for us, this is one of the most important days of the year."
