Two Nights Without Lights
#twonightswithoutlights
For two nights, Good Friday through Easter morning, we choose not to turn on the lights in our home. It’s become tradition.
On
Friday, after we read the story of Jesus’ death, we don’t use the
lights in our house again until Easter morning. We use candles instead.
For two nights we are in darkness.
In the dark we are reminded of why Jesus died for us. In the dark we are reminded that The Light went out of the world.
What
began as a simple and fun way to set aside Easter weekend and keep the
meaning in the forefront of our minds has become a favorite tradition.
We’ve found ourselves slowing down, being still, having time to
contemplate. We’ve found ourselves comforted by the warm flickering
lights all throughout the house in the evening. We’ve found ourselves
stumbling around in the darkness, and have been reminded how badly we
really do need light. And we’ve found ourselves thankful anew for modern
conveniences when the two nights are over.
I’d like to invite you to take part in Two Nights Without Lights this Easter weekend.
Tips:
*Use tape on each light switch to stop yourself from turning it on. It’s a hard habit to stop when you walk into a dark room.
*Use
lanterns, jar candles or tealights in holders for younger children.
Open flames (candlesticks) provide more light, but are better for older
participants.
*You may decide to include computers and
televisions, etc as part of the ‘lights’ you would like to abstain from
using for these two nights.
