Pictures of the Festival of Lights - Lyon 2013
(Some of these pictures were taken from the internet and some we took ourselves)
It is a festival to honor Mary. In 1643 the plague struck and the city government promised to
honor Mary if the city was spared. Each year the residents placed a candle in their window on December 8. It has grown to a huge celebration with several million people out viewing the lights for 3 or 4 nights.
Our guide so we didn't get lost ………………………………

Wow, those are incredible! That would be a lot of fun to see, but the crowds would not be so great!
