christmas eve in santa fe



is there anyplace else in the world where people set up fires on christmas eve so the ChristChild can find His way to their homes?




i had forgotten how beautiful these luminerias are! my camera did not capture them well, but use your imagination to re-construct the real world from these psychedelic shots...

did you notice that the bottom shot shows luminarias arranged in a giant peace sign?

Well, one of the explanations for the lamps of Diwali is to show Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth - the way to one's house!

Or so I read somewhere and included the information in the Esperanto-Wikipedia article. But I now find that the English and Hindi Wikipedias don't have this information, so I suppose I had better edit the Esperanto one now!
